at the end of “visual pleasure and narrative cinema” mulvey calls for a new cinema that would run counter to traditional film form (one that she admits is already undertaken by radical film - makers). such cinema would encourage, rather than prevent, a “distancing awareness in the audience, ” thereby shattering the fetishistic conventions of traditional film (18). as will be shown, schlesinger and conrad hall adopted techniques specifically aimed at distancing the spectator from the image .

the visual elegance of the film. in fact, both cinematographer conrad hall and schlesinger consciously intended this effect, and it’s one reason the film is unsettling to watch. in an interview in 1975, hall said that his aim was to recreate the golden world the characters themselves so desperately desired, to capture “

“extraordinary” is that it scrutinizes the phenomenon of spectatorship and the destructive impact of the hollywood movie industry (stardom, fandom, glamour) without undercutting the medium of film. schlesinger embraced an acid, multi - perspectival modernist aesthetic to accomplish this feat, and the result is a film that is at once dazzling to look at and disturbing to contemplate. so unsettling an experience for the viewer was bound to make the film unpopular, as schlesinger predicted, and he had no regrets .
