Definitions
Examples
“The more frequent and insistent the camera's gaze, the more hypertheatrical the acting; the more the camera has to go in search⟳ of an actor who pretends not be aware of it, and to exist⟳ without it, the more naturalistic and documentary the acting seems (portraits of a lunatic, a prisoner or an amateur actor).”
“Another set⟳ of blinders stems from what might be called the Duessa syndrome: Protestant England associated hypertheatrical women with exotic foreignness, rhetorical display, physical allure, and Circean sexuality.”
