Review
Updated and expanded, with additional material from recent film production, the 2019 edition of Audio-Vision will soon take its place as a valuable textbook for those interested in literary research and practice of cinematic soundtrack. -- Dr. Nick Poulakis ― CINEJ Cinema Journal
Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best books I have ever read, Audio-Vision’s reprinting is a cause for great celebration. After a quarter of a century, it remains the first port of call for scholars and students of audiovisual culture, offering a cornucopia of theories that conceptualize sound's relationship with the moving image. Never less than enthralling, its acuity has not been dulled by more recent theory and scholarship. -- K. J. Donnelly, author of Occult Aesthetics: Synchronization in Sound Film
When Audio-Vision first appeared in 1994, it became a lifeline for the burgeoning field of sound/media studies, providing a veritable roadmap to a discourse just beginning to crystallize. The second edition is no less momentous; Chion seamlessly brings current cinematic offerings into his theoretical purview, showing that his understanding of the filmic soundspace is as insightful to historians, theorists, and students as ever. A fundamental text for soundtrack studies. -- Daniel Goldmark, author of Tunes for 'Toons: Music and the Hollywood Cartoon
Michel Chion’s work is a thrilling exploration of film sound in all its forms: real and symbolic, technical and conceptual, dimensional and suggestive. He gives us all the tools we need for describing what films allow us to hear. Chion’s many neologisms are like notes that can reverberate infinitely for every filmgoer, and through innumerable films. This revised edition of Audio-Vision is a new benchmark for any film scholar. -- Elsie Walker, author of Understanding Sound Tracks Through Film Theory

Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars Poetic and inspiring (but Kindle version could be improved)
The updated 2nd English language edition of this classic - which contains more examples from non-Western films (a gap in the original edition), text that is more focused in places (with some judicious cuts), and some clarifications in the translation.For academic use, this important book deserves a better Kindle edition. This Kindle version doesn't have real page numbers. And in Bolo's Kindle Cloud Reader (which really seems antiquated) you can't even copy/paste words or phrases the way you can in the Kindle device or the iPad app version. This makes it really cumbersome to take notes / quote / cite. Please update these features for those of us who have purchased the Kindle version. Thanks!
Um clássico sobre o que "audiovemos"!
Refletindo questões técnicas e subjetivas, o presente livro aponta para a reciprocidade entre o que ouvimos e o que vemos enquanto espectadores de produções cinematográficas e televisivas. Isso posto, trata-se de um clássico: escrito de forma clara e bem fundamentada, sendo indispensável para pesquisadores que se debruçam sobre o estudo do som nas referidas produções. De maneira muito lúcida o texto nos fornece argumentos, terminologias e exemplos consistentes para que aprimoremos nossa capacidade de fruição e de análise. Os acréscimos para esta edição – explicitados na própria sinopse – são muito bem-vindos, apenas reforçando que estamos diante de uma obra única.
