The Films of Samuel Fuller: If You Die, I’ll Kill You (Wesleyan Film)
by Lisa DombrowskiA cigar-chomping storyteller who signaled "Action!" by shooting a gun, Samuel Fuller has been lionized as one of the most distinctive writer/directors ever to emerge from Hollywood. In such films as The Steel Helmet, Pickup on South Street, Shock Corridor, and The Big Red One, Fuller gleefully challenged classical and generic norms--and often standards of good taste--in an effort to shock and arouse audiences. Tackling war, crime, race, and sexuality with a candor rare for any period, Fuller's maverick vision was tested by Hollywood's transition from the studio system to independent filmmaking. Now, in the first full account of all of the director's audaciously original work, author Lisa Dombrowski brings his career into new relief. The Films of Samuel Fuller features close analysis of Fuller's pictures and draws on previously untapped production and regulatory files, script notes, and interviews to explore how artistic, economic, and industrial factors impacted Fuller's career choices and shaped the expression of his personal aesthetic. Fans of Fuller and American cinema will welcome this in-depth study of a provocative director who embodied both the unique opportunities and challenges of postwar filmmaking.
The Films of Terence Fisher: Hammer Horror and Beyond (Auteur Ser. #No. 26)
by Wheeler Winston DixonTracing the entire career of the British director Terence Fisher, best known for his Gothic horror films for Hammer—such as The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Dracula (1958)—The Films of Terence Fisher covers not only his horror films, but also his film noirs, comedies, and early apprenticeship work to create a full picture of Fisher's life and work.Brimming with rare stills, interviews, and detailed analysis of Fisher's films—both for Hammer as well as his earlier work—this is the ultimate "one-stop" book on Terence Fisher, both in his horror films, and his entire body of work, as well as his legacy to the British cinema.
The Films of Werner Herzog: Between Mirage and History (Routledge Library Editions: Cinema)
by Timothy CorriganGiven Herzog’s own pronouncement that ‘film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates,’ it is not surprising that his work has aroused ambivalent and contradictory responses. Visually and philosophically ambitious and at the same time provocatively eccentric, Herzog’s films have been greeted equally by extreme adulation and extreme condemnation. Even as Herzog’s rebellious images have gained him a reputation as a master of the German New Wave, he has been attacked for indulging in a romantic naiveté and wilful self-absorption. To his hardest critics, Herzog’s films appear as little more than Hollywood fantasies disguised as high seriousness. This book is an attempt to illuminate these contradictions. It gathers essays that focus from a variety of angles on Herzog and his work. The contributors move beyond the myths of Herzog to investigate the merits of his work and its place in film history. A challenging range of films is covered, from Fata Morgana and Aguirre, the Wrath of God to more recent features such as Nosferatu and Where the Green Ants Dream, offering the reader ways of understanding why, whatever the controversies surrounding Herzog and his films, he remains a major and popular international filmmaker. Orignally published in 1986.
Filmspanism: A Critical Companion to the Study of Spanish Cinema
by Juan F. EgeaFilmspanism explores the geopolitics of knowledge involved in academic approaches to Spanish cinema. This companion rethinks the role of disciplinarity, institutionality, and nationality in the study of film by taking into account a rather specific set of contentious issues, intellectual traditions, discursive servitudes, and invested scholarship. To that end, the book explores the topics of art cinema, popular culture, film genre, and transnationalism, always with Spanish cinema as its concrete object of study. An insightful contribution to the study of Spanish cinema, this discussion will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in Hispanic Studies and Film Studies.
Filmtheorie: Eine Einführung
by Jens BonnemannDiese Einführung bietet einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Positionen der Filmtheorie von ihren Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart und schlägt einen Bogen von Hugo Münsterberg bis zu Vivian Sobchack. Die einzelnen Filmtheorien werden in chronologischer Reihenfolge vorgestellt, wobei ihre Hauptthesen, ihr Argumentationsaufbau wie auch ihre wechselseitigen Einflüsse und Abgrenzungen rekonstruiert werden. Inwiefern diese Ansätze dazu dienen können, das Verständnis von Filmen zu vertiefen, wird an konkreten Filmbeispielen gezeigt. Ein weiterer roter Faden innerhalb des Buchs ist der Vergleich mit Theorieangeboten aus der Bildtheorie und der philosophischen Ästhetik. Damit werden die jeweiligen Theoretiker in einen umfassenderen geistesgeschichtlichen Traditionsrahmen eingeordnet.
