In 1916, an eminent psychologist recorded his impressions of the fledgling film industry. His penetrating and prescient observations foretold many later developments of the cinematic art, and this classic survey remains a text of enduring relevance to movie historians as well as to students of film and psychology. Ranging from considerations of the viewer's perception of on-screen depth and motion to examinations of the cinema's distinguishing and unique characteristics as an art form, this study arrives at strikingly modern conclusions about movies and their psychological values. Unabridged republication of the classic 1916 edition.Munsterberg, Hugo is the author of 'Film A Psychological Study', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486433868 and ISBN 0486433862.
