Improvising cinema
This spirited volume explores the history and diversity of improvisation in the cinema, including works by Jean Renoir, Jean-Luc Godard, and Nobuhiro Suwa. Gilles Mouëllic examines improvisational practices that can be specifically attributed to the cinema and argues in favors of their powers as instigators of unprecedented forms of expression. Improvising Cinema reflects both on the permanence of attempting improvisation and the relationship between technology and aesthetics. Mouëllic concludes preservation becomes even more invaluable in the case of improvisation, as the creative act exists only within the brief time span of the performance.

Where Does it Happen?
“A good movie,” John Cassavetes has remarked, “will ask you questions you don’t already know the answers to.” And in his films, Cassavetes is as good as his word. Taking up the radical question that Cassavetes’s films consistently pose—specifically, where is the line between actor and character, fiction and reality, film and life?—George Kouvaros reveals the unique and illuminating position that Cassavetes’s work occupies at the intersection of filmmaking and film theory.Central to any understanding of Cassavetes’s achievement is the issue of performance. Looking at the work of Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazzara, and Cassavetes himself in films such as Faces, A Woman under the In...

A History of the French New Wave Cinema
The French New Wave cinema is arguably the most fascinating of all film movements, famous for its exuberance, daring, and avant-garde techniques. A History of the French New Wave Cinema offers a fresh look at the social, economic, and aesthetic mechanisms that shaped French film in the 1950s, as well as detailed studies of the most important New Wave movies of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Richard Neupert first tracks the precursors to New Wave cinema, showing how they provided blueprints for those who would follow. He then demonstrates that it was a core group of critics-turned-directors from the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma—especially François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, and Jean-Luc God...
Silence, bruit et musique au cinéma
Peut-on encore croire aux frontières entre musique et bruit, voire entre musique et silence au cinéma ? Dans ce livre, vous commencerez par explorer les ressorts esthétiques du silence et les enjeux de son application au cinéma. Nous y abordons la problématique de l'effet de trou au lendemain du parlant, l'impact souvent inattendu du silence au sein d’une rupture dramatique et le rôle surprenant qu’il peut tenir dans une continuité scénaristique et narrative. Cet ouvrage vous conduira ensuite à la source des démarcations admises entre bruit et musique au cinéma, après avoir révélé quelques considérations usuelles sur le bruit généralement perçu négativement et dont la...
Microfilosofia del cinema
Nel cinema, Deleuze rivendica la centralità della dimensione intellettuale. «I concetti sono immagini - dice -. Sono immagini di pensiero». Il cinema dunque non è lontano dal pensiero. Anzi ne è straordinariamente vicino. E se la filosofia è una forza, cioè un sapere concettuale che ci consente di allargare e di approfondire la conoscenza del cinema, il cinema, insieme, affronta i problemi e le figure della filosofia e li declina per immagini. Il cinema e la riflessione sul cinema, cioè, sono un modo per dialogare con la filosofia e proporre idee, concetti che - forse - interessano anche la filosofia. Microfilosofia del cinema è quindi un libro che ruota attorno ai concetti creati d...

Comédie musicale : les jeux du désir
Le plaisir enfantin toujours renouvelé de plusieurs générations de spectateurs explique sans aucun doute l'importance toute particulière de la comédie musicale dans l'histoire du cinéma mondial. Mais il y a peut-être une autre raison, plus surprenante en apparence : la comédie musicale est un lieu formidable de propositions formelles qui inspire nombre de cinéastes contemporains désireux à leur tour de passer par la musique, la danse et le chant pour réinventer le monde ou plus simplement le donner à voir. Les études qui composent cet ouvrage, tout en proposant de nouvelles lectures des inépuisables classiques, témoignent de la richesse et de la diversité des ressources de c...
Nouvelle vague, nouveaux rivages
Au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, on peut considérer que le rapport à la représentation s'est profondément modifié. De ces profondes modifications, le Nouveau Roman puis la Nouvelle Vague présenteront, à la fin des années cinquante, les manifestations les plus spectaculaires. Pour des raisons qui sont d'abord historiques, en littérature comme au cinéma, la bonne conscience et la toute puissance du récit ont été fortement ébranlées, de sorte que, si l'on nous raconte encore des histoire.
