Face to face with angels

Description:

"This book is the first comparative study of sacred medieval images of angels and their cinematic treatment, including both the medieval and modern imaginations. The text traces the functions of angels and their reworking in film, then takes particular note of new icons like the female angel and others who become models for our connection with transcendence"--Provided by publisher.
