paperback. Zustand: Very Good. DETAILS: small PAPERBACK, very good. THOMSON, DAVID. The big sleep. London: British Film Institute, BFI Publishing, 1998, reprinted, 73pp., . Series: BFI film classics The Big Sleep: Marlowe and Vivian practising kissing; General Sternwood shivering in a hothouse full of orchids; a screenplay, co-written by Faulkner, famously mysterious and difficult to solve. Released in 1946, Howard Hawks' adaptation of Raymond Chandler reunited Bogart and Bacall and gave them two of their most famous roles. The mercurial but ever-manipulative Hawks dredged humour and happiness out of film noir. 'Give him a story about more murders than anyone can keep up with, or explain, ' David Thomson writes, 'and somehow he made a paradise.'., When it was first shown, to a military audience, The Big Sleep was coldly received. So, as Thomson reveals, Hawks shot extra scenes, 'fun' scenes, to replace one in which the film's murders had been explained, and in so doing left the plot unresolved. If this was accidental, Thomson argues, it also signalled a change in the nature of the Hollywood cinema: 'The Big Sleep inaugurates a postmodern, camp, satirical view of movies being about other movies that extends to the New Wave and Pulp Fiction.'. 9780851706320 ISBN 0851706320.…

small sewn PAPERBACK, very good, attractive copy. ANDREW, GEOFF. 10 (BFI modern classics). London: BFI Publishing, 2005, 87pp., . Series: BFI modern classics The Iranian Abbas Kiarostami burst onto the international film scene in the early 1990s and - as demonstrated by the many major prizes he has won - is now widely regarded as one of the most distinctive and talented modern-day directors. His major features - including Through the Olive Trees (1994), Taste of Cherry (1997) and The Wind Will Carry Us (1999) - are relatively modest in scale, contemplative and humanist in tone. In 2002, with 10, Kiarostami broke new ground, fixing one or two digital cameras on a car's dashboard to film ten conversations between the driver (Mania Akbari) and her various passengers. The results are astonishing: though formally rigorous, even austere, and documentary-like in its style, 10 succeeds both as emotionally affecting human drama and as a critical analysis of everyday life in today's Tehran., In this study, Geoff Andrew looks at 10 within the context of Kiarostami's career, of Iranian cinema's recent renaissance, and of international film culture. Drawing on a number of detailed interviews he conducted with both Kiarostami and his lead actress, Andrew sheds light on the unusual methods used in making the film, on its political relevance, and on its remarkably subtle aesthetic. He also argues that 10 was an important turning-point in the career of a film-maker who is not only one of contemporary cinema's most accomplished practitioners but also one of its most radical experimentalists. - CONTENTS: ntroduction: something small. -- World cinema at the turn of the millennium -- Iranian cinema: a special case -- Abbas Kiarostami: a very special case -- Kiarostami and digital: ABC Africa -- 10 -- A lesson for others -- A lesson for Kiarostami -- Poetry and motion -- Conclusion: the start of something big?

paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. DETAILS: small sewn PAPERBACK, near fine, attractive copy. CALLOW, SIMON. The night of the hunter. London: BFI Publishing / British Film Institute, 2000, 79pp., . Series: BFI film classics "The Night of the Hunter (1955) was Charles Laughton's only film as director. Part expressionist horror movie, part luminous fairy tale, it contains some of the most haunting images in cinema. Willa (Shelley Winters), her throat cut and hair streaming out like seaweed, sitting upright in a submerged Model-T Ford. Her children, framed by looming animals, in a downriver flight from Preacher (Robert Mitchum). Preacher on horseback, a silhouetted threat on the horizon. Rachel Cooper (Lilian Gish) keeping watch in the darkness. The Night of the Hunter is revered today, but it failed on its first release, and Laughton never recovered from the disappointment." "Simon Callow traces the life cycle of the film: from its roots in Davis Grubb's bestselling novel, through casting, production, editing, to its ill-fated release and subsequent elevation to classic status. Emphasising Laughton's skill at bringing out the best in a talented cast and crew, and adding his own commentary on and interpretation of The Night of the Hunter, Callow celebrates a unique cinematic achievement.". 9780851708225 ISBN 0851708226 5.50. …

paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. DETAILS: small PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine. FISCHER, LUCY. Sunrise: a song of two humans. London: BFI Publishing, 1998, 79pp., . Series: BFI film classics "For Nestor Almendros, Sunrise is 'a dialectical movie'. Similarly, for Tony Rayns, its 'meaning springs largely from [its] oppositions'. For Dorothy Jones, it 'communicate[s] by establishing significant contrasts'. While these critical views highlight the film's antitheses (a trope that Berman associates with modernity), they stress separation at the expense of continuity (or 'disunity' at the expense of 'unity'). Rather than embrace fixed divisions, Sunrise is a text marked by fluid boundaries - junctions that trace the subtle connection between entities rather than their clear demarcation. It is this complex mode of 'border crossing' (this world of 'Both/And' - not 'Either/Or' [Berman]) that makes the film so poignant, resonant, fascinating and modern." - CONTENTS: 'Sunrise' : border crossings -- Europe/America -- Film/literature -- Silence/sound -- City/country -- The Madonna/the whore -- Objective/subjective -- Poetry/narrative -- Stasis/movement -- Painting/cinema -- Classical/modernist -- Surveyor/surveyed -- Lost/found. 9780851706689 ISBN 0851706681 5.40.…
