«La mirada en el temps: Mite i passió en el cinema de Hollywood» is the essay by Núria Bou, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (176 pages, in Catalan).
The book analyses classic Hollywood cinema as a mythical machine that built a bridge of passions with the audience. From comedy to melodrama, the films offered an emotional itinerary: love in its fullness and passion at first sight. The author traverses the sentimental geography of the films to show that the amorous relationship between spectator and screen was the engine of the narrative.
It is part of the Llibres a l'Abast collection, number 289, and includes a prologue by Raffaele Pinto. It won the XII Josep Vallverdú Essay Prize in 1995.
For readers interested in film theory, cinema history and analysis of the sentimental narrative in Hollywood.
