This movement saw filmmakers use their new freedom to engage with traditions of the avant-garde, especially Surrealism. This book explores the avant-garde's influence over the New Wave and considers the political implications of that influence.

Call No: 753 LEIAuthor: Thomas Leitch Edition: Illustrated editionPlace: New YorkPublisher: Oxford University PressPubDate: [2017]PhysDes: xv, 761 pages : illustrations ; 26 cmSeries: Oxford handbooksSubject: ADAPTATIONS ; PORNOGRAPHIC FILMS ; COMIC STRIPS ; LITERATURE AND THE CINEMA ; BOLLYWOOD ; FRANKENSTEIN ; JAN HUS (CS, Otakar Vavra, 1955) ; CZECHOSLOVAKIA ; POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CINEMA Summary: "This collection of forty new essays, written by the leading scholars in adaptation studies and distinguished contributors from outside the field, is the most comprehensive volume on adaptation ever published. Written to appeal alike to specialists in adaptation, scholars in allied fields, and general readers, it hearkens back to the foundations of adaptation studies a century and more ago, surveys its ferment of activity over the past twenty years, and looks forward to the future. It considers the very different problems in adapting the classics, from the Bible to Frankenstein to Philip Roth, and the commons, from online mashups and remixes to adult movies. It surveys a dizzying range of adaptations around the world, from Latin American telenovelas to Czech cinema, from Hong Kong comics to Classics Illustrated, from Bollywood to zombies, and explores the ways media as different as radio, opera, popular song, and videogames have handled adaptation. Going still further, it examines the relations between adaptation and such intertextual practices as translation, illustration, prequels, sequels, remakes, intermediality, and transmediality."--Publisher.Notes: Formerly CIP.

Avisar bases his discussion of these filmic efforts on the assumption that the Holocaust was a unique and unprecedented historical experience and that as such it poses special problems for those, particularly artists, who seek to reflect upon this historical event. He disagrees with theorists who believe that art cannot deal with the Holocaust in a meaningful way. This study examines how cinematic art meets the challenge of dealing with the extraordinary nature of the Holocaust. Avisar uses the concepts of representation, presentation, and comprehension to analyze a select number of Holocaust films. The cinematic medium offers a wide range of artistic visions of historical events. Avisar combines theoretical concepts peculiar to the nature of cinema with arguments on the uniqueness of Hitler's Final Solution in presenting detailed analyses of such remarkable films as Night and Fog, The Damned, The Great Dictator, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Shop on Main Street, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, and Mr. Klein." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.
