| Sumario: | The main focus of "Feeling Colour: Chromatic Embodiment in Film Culture (1950s–1960s)" is the exploration of how color in film during the mid-twentieth century is intertwined with cultural perceptions of emotion and visual experience. The author, Bregt Lameris, critiques the ahistorical approach often taken in studies of affect in cinema, proposing a framework that includes biological, cultural, and individual temporal dimensions in understanding color perception. The book is structured into three analytical parts, examining color contrasts, the influence of color consultancy on filmmaking, and the sensory experiences of taste and touch in relation to color. Lameris encourages interdisciplinary exploration of film color, while also noting the potential for further analysis of sound's role in color perception on screen.
