“Polanski and Perception breathes fresh air into the academic corpus on Polanski’s cinema and presents an engaging discussion of a significantly underrepresented aspect of this director’s filmmaking: the faculty of visual perception. . . . Caputo’s book is successful in its endeavor to explicate the influence of Gregory’s indirect/active perception on Polanski’s filmmaking. It is a novel and informative approach to his cinema delving into many unexplored areas in the director’s depiction of individuals’ perception. It indeed has made a valuable contribution to the existing body of studies done on the cinema of this world-renowned director.”
