The altering eye : contemporary international cinema / Robert Phillip Kolker Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983.
Call No: 62 KOLAuthor: Kolker, Robert Phillip Source: USPlace: OxfordPublisher: Oxford University PressPubDate: 1983PhysDes: 428 p. : ill. ; 21 cmSubject: HISTORY OF CINEMA ; CRITICISM ; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA ; DE SICA, VITTORIO ; GODARD, JEAN-LUC Summary: " Most filmmakers, especially in the United States, have chosen not to upset their audiences. But since World War 2, an alternative cinema has emerged on a significant scale, particularly in Europe and Latin America- a cinema that challenges rather than soothes, that questions assumptions rather than reinforces them. This kind of film - "made in a spirit of resistance, rebellion, and refusal" - is the focus of this important and stimulating study. Investigating many movements and styles, Robert Phillip Kolker illuminates both their diversity and their common threads. He starts with the seminal achievements of the Italian neo-realists (Rossellini, De Sica, Visconti), examining the filmmakers who influenced them and their influence in turn on later filmmakers in Engalnd, Brazil, India and Europe. He looks at the modernist experiments of Resnais and Antonioni and pays special attention to the directors of the French New Wave (Godard, Truffaut, Chabrol, Rohmer, Rivette), who broke down the remaining traditions of cinematic storytelling and invented new ones.
With deftness and clarity, Kolker discusses the New Wave's influence on such older directors as Bresson and Bunuel, as well as on younger ones, such as Ken Russell, Nicolas Roeg, and Jean-Marie Straub. He investigates the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog, filmmakers who have furthered the effort to make cinema a tool of enquiry and visual invention. He concludes with a look at specific political and psychological elements in contemporary film, particularly in the work of revolutionary Latin American filmmakers, the Hungarian director Miklos Jancso, as well as Godard, Bertolucci, Fassbinder, Losey, and Bunuel." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 405-415ISBN: 0195033027Contents: -- introduction -- one: the vaildity of image -- two: the substance of form -- three: politics, psychology, and memory -- notes -- bibliography -- index --URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Dolce vita confidential : Fellini, Loren, Pucci, paparazzi, and the swinging high life of 1950s Rome / Shawn Levy London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2018.

It’s the heyday of fashion icons such as Pucci and Brioni, and the height of ‘Hollywood on the Tiber’, when a dizzying array of stars flock to Cinecittà, the huge movie studio on the outskirts of Rome. At the bars on Via Veneto the likes of Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor mix with blue bloods and bohemians, while behind them trail street photographers in pursuit of the most unflattering and dramatic portraits of fame. In a fast-paced, kaleidoscopic narrative, Shawn Levy shows how all roads lead to Federico Fellini’s world-conquering movie La Dolce Vita, starring Marcello Mastroianni and the Swedish bombshell Anita Ekberg. He recreates Rome’s stunning ascent with vivid and compelling tales of its glitterati and artists, down to every last outrageous detail of the city’s magnificent transformation." - taken from publisher's websiteNotes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781474606158Contents: 1.
