This book continues the author's project, begun in the 2017 monograph Gestures of Love, of exploring the place of film actors in an emotional and thoughtful reception of movies. Shots to the Heart aims to provide both concrete critical engagements with moments of performance as well as philosophical explorations of and reflections on the implications of a love for performance in viewing cinema.
