Description:a"Volker SchlAndorffOCOs Cinema: Adaptation, Politics and the OC Movie-AppropriateOCO "examines the work of major postwar German" "director Volker SchlAndorff in historical, economic, and artistic contexts. Incorporating a film-by-film, twenty-eight chapter study, Hans-Bernhard Moeller & George Lellis reveal a complexity and formal" "ambitiousness of SchlAndorff that is comparable to that found in Wenders, Herzog, and" "Fassbinder. In spite of SchlAndorffOCOs successes with films like" The Lost Honor of" "Katharina Blum "and "The Tin Drum, "as well as his acclaimed work in the U.S. with" Death of a Salesman, Gathering of Old Men "and "The HandmaidOCOs Tale," this is the first in-depth" "critical study of the filmmakerOCOs career." "aIn the context of film and television history, this book relates SchlAndorffOCOs oeuvre to the New German Cinema, to his formative years as a student and production assistant in France, and to his roots in the Weimar cinemaOCOs tradition. It reveals how SchlAndorff entered into the German film production system in the 1960s, how he came to rely on German public television in the 1970s, and then moved to the international and American financing in the 1980s, attempting to redevelop the Babelsberg studios in a 1990s post-Wall Germany while continuing to make his own films into the 21st century. The book captures how SchlAndorffOCOs nearly half century of ongoing creativity and productivity ties together.aThe authors analyze the artistry of each SchlAndorff movie arguing that his output as a whole embodies a provocative and sometimes contradictory set of balances. SchlAndorff combines commercial interest with significant artistic ambition, blends the kinesthetic pleasures of moving images with the seriousness of fine literature, links the intensity of individualized personal experience to an awareness of broader political issues, and represents a specifically German sensibility even as he reaches out to the international audiences.aaThe authors demonstrate the cyclical recurrence in his cinema of certain themes (individual and collective rebellion, fascist suppression, masochistic love), narrative patterns (the Western, the thriller, the subjective mood piece), and stylistic approaches (Brechtian Verfremdung, the creation of careful leitmotif structures, the use of the grotesque). In over thirty years of filmmaking, SchlAndorff has produced a remarkable unified body of work that deserves the attention of a book-length study. Authors Hans-Bernhard Moeller and George Lellis offer the first such study of its kind.a"Volker SchlAndorffOCOs Cinema: Adaptation, Politics, and the OC Movie-AppropriateOCO "features forty-one illustrations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
