David Bordwell is a film theorist concerned to establish the autonomy of film narrative vis-a-vis other narrative art forms, including literature. Bordwell has done more than anyone else in recent years to dispel the semiotic mystifications that haunt the field (as in literary criticism). This paper applies Bordwell's cognitivism to Hero and Rashomon and examines how it provides a better account for understanding the interpretation of film narrative. Importantly, as powerful, subtle, and nuanced as Bordwell's method might be, the stance on which his view is based remains problematic. The difficulties with his stance are well illustrated by dismissing the other narrative dimensions of narrator, narrativization, and dialogism. Consequently, I introduce the methods of Chatman, Genette, and Bakhtin to fill in Bordwell's theoretical lacunae. |
