Must We Kill the Thing We Love?: Emersonian Perfectionism and the Films of Alfred Hitchcock
ISBN: 9780231166027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. William Rothman argues that the driving force of Hitchcock's work was his struggle to reconcile the dark vision of his favorite Oscar Wilde quote, "Each man kills the thing he loves," with the quintessentially American philosophy, articulated in Emerson's writings, that gave classical Hollywood movies of the New Deal era their extraordinary combination of popularity and artistic seriousness. A Hitchcock thriller could be a comedy of remarriage or a melodrama of an unknown woman, both Emersonian genres, except for the murderous villain and godlike author, Hitchcock, who pulls the villain's...

First published in 1982, William Rothman's Hitchcock is a classic work of film criticism. Written in an engaging style that is philosophically sophisticated yet free of jargon, and using over nine hundred images from the films to illustrate and back up its critical claims, the book follows six different Hitchcock films as they unfold, moment by moment, from first shot to last.

Documentary Film Classics offers close readings on a number of major films, such as Nanook of the North, Land Without Bread, Night and Fog, Chronicle of a Summer and Don't Look Back.

John Huston's Filmmaking
ISBN: 9780521586702 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Huston's Filmmaking offers an analysis of the life and work of one of the greatest American independent filmmakers. Always visually exciting, Huston's films sensitively portray humankind in all its incarnations, chronicling the attempts by protagonists to conceive and articulate their identities. In this study, Lesley Brill shows Huston's films to be far more than formulaic adventures of masculine failure, arguing instead that they demonstrate the close connection among humanity, the natural world, and divinity.

Looking with Robert Gardner
ISBN: 9781438460505 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During his lifetime, Robert Gardner (1925-2014) was often pigeonholed as an ethnographic filmmaker, then criticized for failing to conform to the genre's conventions--conventions he radically challenged. With the release of his groundbreaking film Dead Birds in 1963, Gardner established himself as one of the world's most extraordinary independent filmmakers, working in a unique border area between ethnography, the essay film, and poetic/experimental cinema. Richly illustrated, Looking with Robert Gardner assesses the range and magnitude of Gardner's achievements not only as a...

Inside Soviet Film Satire
ISBN: 9780521021074 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Inside Soviet Film Satire: Laughter with a Lash is a lively collection of sixteen original essays by Soviet, American, and Canadian scholars and film commentators. It is the first in-depth examination of an important genre within the Soviet film tradition. From its origins, humor and satire have been closely linked in Soviet cinema. Nowhere in this tradition is there the pure comic genre typified in the West in films by Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton; by contrast, Soviet comedy can best be described as "laughter with a lash." Films made during the early years of the communist regime...

Another Frank Capra
ISBN: 9780521389785 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Another Frank Capra offers a new interpretation of the great Hollywood director beyond the patriotic sentimentalist or the cynical opportunist that he has been taken for. Often cast as a cinematic simpleton or primitive, Capra's exploitation of the stylistic and narrative resources of cinema was, in fact, extremely self-conscious and adventurous in ways typical of artistic modernism. His modernism is also evident in his repeated and strong identification with female characters. Informed by recent work in genre theory and feminist psychology, Another Frank Capra shows Capra to be a...
