Cinematic encounters 2 : portraits and polemics / Jonathan Rosenbaum Urbana, Chicago, and Springfield: University of Illinois Press, 2019.
Call No: 670 ROSAuthor: Rosenbaum, Jonathan Edition: 2019Place: Urbana, Chicago, and SpringfieldPublisher: University of Illinois PressPubDate: 2019PhysDes: 312 pages ; 23cmSubject: DIRECTORS ; AKERMAN, CHANTAL ; BROOKS, JAMES L. ; BUNUEL, LUIS ; DEMY, JACQUES ; DREYER, CARL TH. ; GIANVITO, JOHN ; JARMUSCH, JIM ; LEWIS, JERRY ; LINKLATER, RICHARD ; MADDIN, GUY ; MAY, ELAINE ; OLIVEIRA, MANOEL DE ; OLMI, ERMANNO ; YASUJIRO OZU ; POTTER, SALLY ; RAPPAPORT, MARK ; RESNAIS, ALAIN ; RIVETTE, JACQUES ; TARR, BELA ; MING-LIANG, TSAI ; WELLES, ORSON Summary: Eschewing the idea of film reviewer-as-solitary-expert, Jonathan Rosenbaum continues to advance his belief that a critic's ideal role is to mediate and facilitate our public discussion of cinema. Portraits and Polemics presents debate as an important form of cinematic encounter whether one argues with filmmakers themselves, on behalf of their work, or with one's self.
Rosenbaum takes on filmmakers like Chantal Akerman, Richard Linklater, Manoel De Oliveira, Mark Rappaport, Elaine May, and Béla Tarr. He also engages, implicitly and explicitly, with other writers, arguing with Pauline Kael—and Wikipedia—over Jacques Demy, with the Hollywood Reporter and Variety reviewers of Jarmusch’s The Limits of Control, with David Thomson about James L. Brooks, and with many American and English film critics about misrepresented figures from Jerry Lewis to Yasujiro Ozu to Orson Welles. Throughout, Rosenbaum mines insights, pursues pet notions, and invites readers to join the fray. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780252084386Contents: Introduction: In Defense of Polemical Criticism -- 1.

From The Sopranos to Breaking Bad, Sex and the City to Girls, and Modern Family to Louie, never has so much quality programming dominated our screens. Exploring how we got here, acclaimed TV critic David Bianculli traces the evolution of the classic TV genres, among them the sitcom, the crime show, the miniseries, the soap opera, the Western, the animated series, the medical drama, and the variety show. In each genre he selects five key examples of the form to illustrate its continuities and its dramatic departures. Drawing on exclusive and in-depth interviews with many of the most famed auteurs in television history, Bianculli shows how the medium has evolved into the premier form of visual narrative art." - taken from back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages [553]-555) and index.ISBN: 9781101911327Contents: Introduction -- 1.
