The Films of Robert Bresson
Author: Bert CardulloPublisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1843317966
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
'The Films of Robert Bresson: A Casebook' spans Bresson's entire career, with interviews and essays addressing the great auteur's oeuvre from every artistic angle. The interviews presented here--by such noted cineastes as Jean-Luc Godard, Paul Schrader, and David Thomson--elicited authorial comment from an auteur not known for his garrulousness, and they are either as aesthetically inclusive or as journalistically pointed as possible. For their part, the essays in this volume are by such luminous figures as André Bazin, Susan Sontag, and François Truffaut. Each interview is followed either by an essay on the film discussed in the interview, an essay on Bresson's work by the interviewer himself, or an essayistic overview of Bresson's career when the preceding interview itself is survey-like. In this way the book 'bounces' the essays and interviews off one another so as to stimulate a kind of semi-continuous critical conversation about the films, their maker, and the interviewers themselves. The result is something that may be as good as criticism itself: enlightened authorial comment.
Orson Welles's Citizen Kane
Author: James NaremorePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019996131X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Citizen Kane is arguably the most admired and significant film since the advent of talking pictures. No other film is quite so interesting from both artistic and political points of view. To study it even briefly is to learn a great deal about American history, motion-picture style, and the literary aspects of motion-picture scripts. Rather than presenting a sterile display of critical methodologies, James Naremore has gathered a set of essays that represent the essential writings on the film. It gives the reader a lively set of critical interpretations, together with the necessary production information, historical background, and technical understanding to comprehend the film's larger cultural significance. Selections range from the anecdotal --Peter Bogdanovich's interview with Orson Welles--to the critical, with discussions on the scripts and sound track, and a discussion of what accounts for the film's enduring popularity. Contributors include James Naremore, Peter Bogdanovich, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Robert L. Carringer, François Thomas, Michael Denning, Laura Mulvey, Peter Wollen, and Paul Arthur.
