The paper scrutinizes a notion of norm in David Bordwell’s system of film aesthetics. It concerns such issues as: a relationship between Jan Mukařovský’s concept of norm and the use Bordwell is making of it; procedures of establishing norms on the basis of sample analysis; justification of norms; list of norms and their status; a dialectic of norm and deviation as a tool for film analysis.
