Opis

From the earliest days, the cinema has enjoyed a special kinship with the railroad, a mutual attraction based on similar ways of handling speed, visual perception and the promise of a journey. This work explores and explains this relationship in both historical and theoretical terms, blending film scholarship with railroad history.
