ISBN: 9781443803588 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 197 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The term “neorealism” was first applied by the critic Antonio Pietrangeli to Visconti’s Ossessione (1942), and the style came to fruition in the mid-to-late forties in such films of Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti, and Vittorio De Sica as Rome, Open City (1945), Shoeshine (1946), Paisan (1947), Bicycle Thieves (1948), and The Earth Trembles (1948). These pictures reacted not only against the banality that had long been the dominant mode of Italian cinema, but also against prevailing socio-economic conditions in Italy.

Loach and Leigh, Ltd.: The Cinema of Social Conscience
ISBN: 9781443821087 / Twarda / 2010 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The film directors Ken Loach and Mike Leigh have addressed the erosion of regional and class identities in an English landscape rendered increasingly uniform by consumerism. Descendants of the social-realist flowering in British cinema of the 1960s, Loach and Leigh have assessed the impact of such consumerism—of the consumer society or the consumerist mentality—primarily on family life, charting the erosion of the welfare state and the consensus that it had once built, and examining the ruptures in domestic as well as social life wrought by divisive governmental policies in an...

Bresson and Others: Spiritual Style in the Cinema
ISBN: 9781443809924 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) A number of writers have attempted to capture Robert Bresson’s style as well as his substance with such terms as “minimalist,” “austere,” "ascetic," “elliptical,” “autonomous,” “pure,” even “gentle." Most famously, Paul Schrader once called Bresson’s films “transcendental,” while Susan Sontag described them as “spiritual.” Both these critics thus extended in anglicized form a tendency that had early been dominant in Bresson criticism in France: the attempt, made by such Catholic writers as André Bazin, Henri Agel, Roger Leenhardt, and Amédée Ayfre, to...
