Belgian artist David Claerbout investigates temporality and phenomenology through digital and photographic means. This first comprehensive monograph features works from 1996-2007, and includes essays and never-before-published preparatory drawings.
This volume brings together 20 illustrated essays written between 1981 and 1989 by Raymond Bellour, one of the world's most prominent film theorists.
With an introductory chapter that sketches out a history of the way the close analysis of film developed, this work begins with a study of the Bodega Bay sequence of The Birds, and then goes on to examine various aspects of that singular critical practice, 'the analysis of film'. schovat popis
"Compiles artistic and analytical practices that expand thought on cinema ... thematizes archetypes and recurring patterns in film history ... with contributions from cultural history, philosophy, and film theory"--Blurb.
In a house haunted by memories, the past is everywhere ... As darkness falls, a man caught in a snowstorm is forced to shelter at the strange, grim house Wuthering Heights. It is a place he will never forget. There he will come to learn the story of Cathy: how she was forced to choose between her well-meaning husband and the dangerous man she had loved since she was young. How her choice led to betrayal and terrible revenge - and continues to torment those in the present. How love can transgress authority, convention, even death. And how desire can kill.
" Le meilleur film de fiction allemand ". Ces mots d'un critique d'époque, à la sortie de Menschen am Sonntag (Les Hommes, le dimanche) le 4 février 1930 à Berlin, disent bien le caractère unique de ce film d'inspiration résolument documentaire, tourné avec des moyens de fortune et avec des acteurs non professionnels, par une poignée de jeunes gens destinés à devenir célèbres une fois exilés à Hollywood (Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer, Billie Wilder, Eugen Schüfftan, Fred Zinnemann). Entre récit et reportage, témoignage et avant-garde, avec une intuition sensible rare, ce film encore muet recueille l'héritage des cinémas soviétique et français, et les leçons de la Nouvelle Objectivité propre à la photographie allemande. Il est devenu ainsi, rétrospectivement, annonciateur tant du néo-réalisme que de la Nouvelle Vague. C'est un petit chef-d'oeuvre, d'allure simple mais subtil, sur la vie de la capitale allemande, peu avant l'arrivée du nazisme.
