"A fascinating satura lanx: a collection of essays which provides the reader with a very valuable diversity of approaches.... This book must be considered a crucial and innovative contribution to the fields of classical philology, comparative literature, and film analysis; and, at the same time, pleasant reading for a larger public interested in cinema and literature.... The innovative value and the extraordinary quality of the book show the vitality of classical tradition in contemporary culture and the hermeneutic importance of the 'fusion between past and present.'"--Classical World"One of the most striking interpretative studies of cinematic texts.... In his valuable and well-structured introduction Martin M. Winkler describes the theoretical background and history of Film Philology....
