A pioneer in the field, Christian Metz applies insights of structural linguistics to the language of film.

The semiology of film . . . can be held to date from the publication in 1964 of the famous essay by Christian Metz, 'Le cinéma: langue ou langage?'--Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, Times Literary Supplement

Modern film theory begins with Metz.--Constance Penley, coeditor of Camera Obscura

Any consideration of semiology in relation to the particular field signifying practice of film passes inevitably through a reference to the work of Christian Metz. . . . The first book to be written in this field, [Film Language] is important not merely because of this primacy but also because of the issues it raises . . . issues that have become crucial to the contemporary argument.--Stephen Heath, Screen
