In "Narrated Films, " Avrom Fleishman explores the distinctive literary techniques often used by filmmakers to tell their stories. Through close viewings of ingeniously paired films, Fleishman documents five narrational practices in the cinema: voice-over ( "Orpheus" and "Sunset Boulevard"), dramatized narration, in which the film is a story that one character tells another ( "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" and "Hiroshima Mon Amour"), multiple narration, in which a number of characters tell the story that is the film ( "Rashomon" and "Zelig"), written narration, whether through diaries or letters ( "Letter from an Unknown Woman" and "Diary of a Country Priest"), and the cinematic version of interior monologue, which Fleishman terms "mindscreen narration" ( "Brief Encounter" and "Daybreak").
