Bloomsbury Adaptation Histories

Noted scholar Imelda Whelehan looks at key adaptations released during this period and considers the impact of social change, film consumption and film tastes, as well as noting the most popular genres at this time. The latter part of the 20th century saw cinema becoming increasingly significant as an art-form, even while its status as 'art' was still openly contested. This installment in the Bloomsbury Adaptation Histories series discusses a rich and exciting period of cinema history: Hollywood in the latter stages of its golden age, releasing masterpiece adaptations such as It's A Wonderful Life (1946), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), The Third Man (1949), All About Eve (1950), Rear Window (1954), The Night of the Hunter (1955) and Vertigo (1958).

Film Theory in Practice

The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world of film theory. By marrying the explanation of a film theory with the interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis. This book provides a broad introduction to network theory and shows how this theory can motivate a close reading of Robert Altman's 1975 film Nashville. By offering a tour of the expansive intellectual network we can now call network theory, the book demonstrates how analyzing the ubiquitous characteristics of networks changes the way film fans, students, and scholars might understand cinema's storytelling possibilities. It models a method of interpretation (focusing on character, cinematography, and sound) that students can practice with other feature films. Moreover, it situates film within a larger discourse about art and society, offering students the tools for analyzing other large-form cultural objects. Organized into two parts, the first section of the book presents an overview of network theory, its various facets as a still-emerging discourse, and its historical context in post-industrial life, before turning to Altman's Nashville. It then explores the film's narrative style and character system as a special case of network cinema, to show how there is more than "connectedness" alone to the network form.

Network Theory and Nashville

What could movies as diverse as The Last Samurai, Cléo from 5 to 7, or Dr. Strangelove have in common? Filmonomics has a simple yet intriguing answer: economics as the main driving force of the plot or as the main motivation of the characters' actions.

Economists Discuss the Silver Screen

Filmonomics

From 'one of the brightest, most pleasure-giving writers at work today' (Jeffrey Eugenides), a visionary tale inspired by the life of the 20th century film director G.W. Pabst, who left Europe for Hollywood to resist the Nazis and then returned to his homeland with his wife and young son and began making films for the German Reich.

The Director

For generations, Ed Wood has been known as “the worst director of all time.” This sympathetic critical study repositions the director of Plan 9 from Outer Space as a maverick independent whose work challenges the boundary between “bad” and “good.”
In 1978, Edward D. Wood, Jr. died aged fifty-four, days after being evicted from his home. Two years later, he was rescued from obscurity when he was voted “Worst Director of All Time.” By the time Tim Burton’s biopic Ed Wood was released in 1994, Wood’s low-budget films, including Plan 9 from Outer Space, Glen or Glenda, and Bride of the Monster, had become entrenched as “so bad they’re good” anti-classics. That was then. In the years since, the rediscovery of lost and neglected films has enriched Wood’s legacy, while new generations of viewers have grown more sympathetic to his eccentric style and offbeat take on gender and sexuality.
Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA is a critical study that takes Wood seriously, positioning him as a true independent whose work complicates the barrier between “bad” and “good.” Will Sloan follows Wood’s career on the margins of Hollywood, from his cult films with Bela Lugosi to his eventual fate in pornography, locating the artistic personality that unites his subterranean oeuvre.
Sloan situates Wood’s films in their cultural context, showing how he infused old styles and genres with his contemporary concerns; how his freewheeling approach to film grammar blurred the line between the grindhouse and the avant-garde; how his bringing together of faded stars, novelty celebrities, and showbiz amateurs created evocative Hollywood dreamscapes; and how his art explored cross-dressing and gender fluidity when these subjects were taboo. It also charts Wood’s place in the “bad movie” cult, from The Golden Turkey Awards to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and beyond.
Marking the centennial of Wood’s birth, Ed Wood: Made in Hollywood USA assesses the full scope of Wood’s career, considering how radical ideas grow on the fringes and interrogating the ideology of “bad.” This is a timely intervention in the politics of taste, and a fond salute to an independent spirit whose films tell us so much about our world.

Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy

The book provides a critical overview of the most important issues in the philosophy of film, from "What is Film?" to "Can Film Do Philosophy?"

Philosophy of Film: A Contemporary Introduction consists of 11, similarly sized and structured chapters, plus an introduction and a final References list.

Each chapter also includes a short annotated filmography of illustrative examples.

An Introduction

Philosophy of Film

"A vast treasury of ideas, observations and innovation." - Francis Ford Coppola The triple-Oscar winner of the Godfather films, Apocalypse Now and The English Patient presents a masterclass on movies and how they are made. Highly lauded film editor, director, writer and sound designer Walter Murch reflects on the six decades of cinematic history he has been a considerable contributor to - and on what makes great films great.Together with Francis Coppola and George Lucas, Murch abandoned Hollywood in 1969 and moved to San Francisco to create the Zoetrope studio. Their vision was of a new kind of cinema for a new generation of film-goers. Murch's subsequent contributions in film editing rooms and sound-mixing theatres were responsible for ground-breaking technical and creative innovations.In this book, Murch invites readers on a voyage of discovery through film, with a mixture of personal stories, meditations on his own creative tactics and strategies, and reminiscences from working on The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, Lucas' American Graffiti, and Anthony Minghella's The English Patient and The Talented Mr Ripley.Suddenly Something Clicked is a book that will change the way you watch movies.
