Supplemented by insightful critical essays and an especially useful and informed introduction, this English translation of a pioneering phenomenological film theorist's work is without doubt a major event in Anglophone film studies and the philosophy of film. Meunier's writings are highly significant both historically and conceptually - and as the volume's essays and interview further demonstrate, his nuanced account of moving-image experience is strikingly current and widely applicable. - Daniel Yacavone, The University of Edinburgh[-][-] *The Structures of the Film Experience*, originally published in 1969, provides unique insight into and even prefigures many of the concerns of contemporary phenomenological and cognitive film theory. Thus it is a welcome development to see this book translated into English. This volume contains not only Meunier's book-in-translation, but also an introduction, a recent interview, and more than a dozen chapters by leading scholars who contextualize, explicate, and wrestle with Meunier's ideas. This unique and well-designed volume thus makes a vital contribution to film theory. - Carl Plantinga, Calvin College
