Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to reconstruct selected observations on the relationship between face and landscape in classic texts of French film theory. The author proposes to trace those places in the works of Jean Epstein, Béla Balázs, Edgar Morin, or Gilles Deleuze in which the inter relation between the human face and the landscape is discussed(even if only to a small extent) in relation to cinema. Shenotes that the early film scholars viewed the relationshipin question from the perspective of the specificity of thefilm medium. Their proposals are then placed in the con-text of considerations by contemporary theorists – Pascal Bonitzer, Jacques Aumont, and Jean Mottet, among others –who recognize the gradual retion of the interrelationship between face and landscape, and finally, their disappearance or even destruction.
