Film Posters of the 50s: The Essential Movies of the Decade

2005 y.
Publisher: Taschen, Evergreen
Description: The cinema of the 1950s reflected the mood swings of the post-war generation. Optimistic epics and brittle social comedies rubbed shoulders with socially aware dramas and, faced with the new challenge of television, the studios conjured up a host of fresh attractions: CinemaScope, Vista-Vision and 3D, the curves of Marilyn Monroe and the moody mumbles of Marlon Brando and James Dean. In Hollywood, veteran actors circled the wagons against the massed assault of juvenile delinquents as the Wild West became the Asphalt Jungle. In Britain, upper lips remained stiff - though a smile or two was permitted at the latest Ealing Comedy. Films from Italy and France, where the `New Wave` was starting to break, were still considered strictly high culture, if not threateningly risque, in the Anglophone nations. The images in this book represent the full range of poster art which attracted world wide cinema audiences to the movies of the decade. Some may be familiar, others, long… [detailed...]

Film Posters of the 70s: The Essential Movies of the Decade

2005 y.
Publisher: Taschen, Evergreen
Description: The cinema of the 1970s reflected both the anxieties and the escapism of an angst-ridden decade. The bleak realism of `Taxi Driver` and the political paranoia of `All the President`s Men` co-existed with the androgynous fantasy of `Rocky Horror Picture Show`. In the 70s, `blaxploitation` made its first appearance, `Last Tango in Paris` and `Emmanuelle` edged `porno-chic` into the mainstream, `ethno-сооl` reached new heights in `The Godfather`. Clint Eastwood traded his poncho for a 44 Magnum in `Dirty Harry`, `Star Wars` blasted audiences into hyperspace, `Jaws` hit the New England beaches and `Apocalypse Now` did for Huey helicopters what `Saturday Night Feve` did for white suits and flares. The images in this book represent the full range of poster art which attracted world-wide cinema audiences to these and many other movies and reveals just how much current fashion owes to the style of the 70s.

Film Posters of the 80s: The Essential Movies of the Decade

2005 y.
Publisher: Taschen, Evergreen
Description: The 1980s was an exceptionally fertile period for the cinema, which skilfully reflected the decade`s diverse trends and the tastes of an audience obsessed with fashion, music and the latest high tech gadgetry - preferably in matt black. As the US regained confidence in itself during the Reagan years, Hollywood catered to the emerging yuppie market with movies that range from brat-pack capers such as `St Elmo`s Fire` and `The Breakfast Club` to testosterone driven blockbusters like `The Terminator` and `Die Hard`, from the independent, low-budget films of the Coen Brothers to the revival of classic American film noir. The Brits chipped in with `A Fish Called Wanda` and `Chariots of Fire` and the Italians with the enchanting `Cinema Paradiso`, which was one of a number of foreign language films (`Betty Blue`, `Ran`, `Kagamusha`) that broke through into the international market. The wide variety of films on the screens of the burgeoning multiplexes was fully… [detailed...]

Film Posters of the 90s: The Essential Movies of the Decade

2005 y.
Publisher: Taschen, Evergreen
Description: Whatever your taste in movies, the filmmakers of the 1990s had it covered. On the one hand, the big studios took advantage of the ever-increasing sophistication of computer-generated imagery to produce spectacular, mega-budget `event` movies like `Titanic`, `The Matrix` and `Mission: Impossible`, on the other, a new generation of independents like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers was winning its spurs with low-tech and often low-budget productions such as `Reservoir Dogs` and `The Big Lebowski`. Spielberg turned his attention to the Second World War with `Saving Private Ryan`, Eastwood and Costner gave the Western a new lease of life with `Unforgiven` and `Dances With Wolves`, and the Brits chipped in with two unexpected successes, `The Full Monty` and `Trainspotting`. From the eerie psychosis of `The Silence of the Lambs` to the romantic fantasy `Pretty Woman`, this was a decade that offered something for everyone. Hollywood may have become besotted by all things… [detailed...]

Film Structure and the Emotion System

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSynthesizing recent research on emotion in cognitive psychology and neurology, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of how film evokes emotion. Although the experience of emotion is central to movie-viewing, film studies have not focused on the emotions, relying instead on vague psychoanalytic concepts of desire. This volume describes a grounded approach to analyzing the emotional appeal of a wide variety of films (from Casablanca to Stranger than Paradise, from Renoir to Spielberg), showing how style and narration call upon the viewer`s emotion system.Download DescriptionFilms evoke broad moods and cue particular emotions that can be broadly shared as well as individually experienced. Although the experience of emotion is central to the viewing of movies, film studies have neglected to focus attention on the emotions, relying instead on vague psychoanalytic concepts of desire.

Leo Braudy, Marshall Cohen
Film Theory and Criticism: Introductory Readings

2004 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Since publication of the first edition in 1974, Film Theory and Criticism has been the most widely used and cited anthology of critical writings about film. Extensively revised and updated, this sixth edition highlights both classic texts and cutting edge essays from more than a century of thought and writing about the movies. Editors Leo Braudy and Marshall Cohen have reformulated the book`s sections and their introductions in order to lead students into a rich understanding of what the movies have accomplished, both as individual works and as contributions to what has been called `the art form of the twentieth [and now twenty-first] century.` Building upon the wide range of selections and the extensive historical coverage that marked previous editions, this new compilation stretches from the earliest attempts to define the cinema to the most recent efforts to place film in the contexts of psychology, sociology, and philosophy, and to explore issues of gender and race.

Film and Television After 9/11

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Film and Television after 9/11, twelve distinguished scholars and critics discuss the production, reception, and distribution of Hollywood and foreign films after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and examine how movies havechanged to reflect the new world circumstances. While some contemporary films offer escapism, the bulk of mainstream American cinema since 9/11 seems centered on the desire to replicate the idea of the `just war,` in which military reprisals and escalation of warfare appear to be both inevitable and justified. Films such as Black Hawk Down, Collateral Damage, and We Were Soldiers reflect a renewed audience appetite for narratives of conflict, reminiscent of the wave of filmmaking that surrounded Americaninvolvement in World War II. The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have galvanized the American public into a call for action, and film critics wonder how this will play out in the months and years to come. How will… [detailed...]

Film and Television In-Jokes: Nearly 2,000 Intentional References, Parodies, Allusions, Personal Touches, Cameos, Spoofs and Homages

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Only the Lonely (1991), Ally Sheedy appeases prospective mother-in-law Maureen O`Hara by going along to see the 1939 film How Green Was My Valley--starring Maureen O`Hara. Richard LaGravenese, slighted by critic Gene Siskel over his screenplay for The Fisher King (1991) wrote an unsavory character named Siskel into The Ref (1994). Movies and television shows often feature inside jokes. Sometimes there are characters named after crew members. Directors are often featured in cameo appearances--Alfred Hitchcock`s silhouette can be seen in Family Plot (1976), for example. This work catalogs such occurrences. Each entry includes the title of the film or show, year of release, and a full description of the in-joke. [detailed...]

Film and Television Music : The Spectre of Sound

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis major new study focuses on film music as a device that controls its audience by using emotion as a powerful tool. Kevin Donnelly emphasizes the manipulative and ephemeral character of film music. He discusses not only traditionalorchestral film music but also film music`s colonization of television and the relation of pop music and film. Film and Television Music challenges accepted notions of film music as restricted to film by looking at its use in television and its influence in the world of pop music. It questions traditional assumptions about `valued` film music, either from `name` composers or from the golden era of classical Hollywood. Focusing on topics as diverse as horror, pop music in film, ethnic signposting, television drama, and the soundtrack without a film, this original study introduces a range of new perspectives on one of the most complex and fascinating aspects of filmmaking.

Films Of Makhmalbaf: Cinema, Politics And Culture In Iran

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The rise of Iranian cinema to world prominence over the last few decades is one of the most fascinating cultural stories of our time. There is hardly an international film festival anywhere that does not honor the aesthetic and political explorations of Iranian filmmakers. At the vanguard of this ascent has been Mohsen Makhmalbaf, and no one better personifies Iranian cinema. His life and career have been shaped, and in a way been defined, by the Islamic revolution and the complex historical influences beyond it. Critically, vividly, and sometimes pitilessly, Makhmalbaf`s films provide a mirror of Iranian history and culture, both before and after the cataclysm of the revolution. From the start, Makhmalbaf has explored the relationship between the individual and a larger social and political environment. As a result, his work serves as an extended commentary on the historical progression of the Iranian state and its people. And if Makhmalbaf`s films are at times polemic, he… [detailed...]
