Cinematic Modernism and Contemporary Film: Aesthetics and Narrative in the Inter

Description: Cinematic Modernism and Contemporary Film by Dr Howard Finn Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Cinema was the most important new artistic medium of the twentieth century and modernism was the most important new aesthetic movement across the arts in the twentieth century. However, what exactly is the relationship between cinema and modernism?Cinematic Modernism and Contemporary Film explores how in the early twentieth century cinema came to be seen as one of the new technologies which epitomised modernity and how cinema itself reflected ideas, hopes and fears concerning modern life. Howard Finn examines the emergence of a new international style of cinema, combining a poetic aesthetic of the image with genre-based fictional narrative and documentary realism. He provides concise accounts of how theorists such as André Bazin, Siegfried Kracauer, Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Rancière have discussed this cinematic aesthetic, clarifying debates over terms such as realism, classical and avant-garde as well as recent controversies over terms such as slow cinema and vernacular modernism. He further argues the influence of modernism through close readings of many contemporary films, including films by Abbas Kiarostami, Béla Tarr, Jia Zhangke, and Angela Schanelec.Drawing on a broad range of examples, including Soviet montage, Italian neorealism, postwar new waves and the new cinema of Taiwan and Iran, this book explores the cultural significance of modernism and its lasting influence over cinema.
