Seller's Description:
Near Fine. Size: 0x0x0; [CINEMA]. Eds. Mark Shiel, Tony Fitzmaurice. Contributors: Matthew Gandy, Jude Davies. "Screening the City." New York and London: Verso, 2003. First edition. English language. Hardcover with black cloth boards. No jacket as issued. 26 oz. 312 pp. Price sticker on back cover. Text clean. Near Fine. ISBN: 1859846904. "In this provocative collection of essays, films as diverse as 'The Man with the Movie Camera, ' 'Annie Hall, ' 'Street of Crocodiles, ' 'Boyz N the Hood, ' 'Three Colors: Red, ' and 'Crash' are examined in terms of the relationship between cinema and the changing urban experience in Europe and the United States since the early twentieth century. Peter Jelavich, for example, links the suppression of the creative, liberal Weimar Berlin in the 1931 film 'Berlin Alexanderplatz' to the rise of the Nazi regime and the end of one of the great eras of modernist experimentation in German visual culture; Jessie Labov considers Kieslowski's treatment of the Warsaw housing bloc in 'Dekalog' in terms of Solidarity's strategy of resisting totalitarianism in 1980s Poland; Allan Siegel examines the motif of the city in a broad range of American and international cinema to demonstrate how film and society since the 1960s have been driven by the fading of mass political radicalism and the triumph of privatization and capital; Paula Massood uses the socially illuminating theories of Mikhail Bakhtin to examine the representation of the ghetto and urban underclass in recent African-American films such as 'Menace II Society'; and Matthew Gandy examines the focus on disease in Todd Haynes's 'Safe' as a metaphor for social and spatial breakdown in contemporary Los Angeles."
