Extreme cinema : the transgressive rhetoric of today's art film culture / Mattias Frey New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 2016.
Call No: 722.71 FREAuthor: Frey, Mattias Source: USPlace: New Brunswick, N.J.Publisher: Rutgers University PressPubDate: 2016PhysDes: viii, 285 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: ART CINEMA ; AESTHETICS ; VIOLENCE IN FILMS ; PORNOGRAPHY ; SEX IN FILMS ; HANEKE, MICHAEL ; VON TRIER, LARS Summary: "From Shortbus to Shame and from Oldboy to Irreversible, film festival premieres regularly make international headlines for their schockingly graphic depictions of sex and violence. Film critics and scholars alike often regard these movies as the work of visionary auteurs, hailing directors like Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier as heirs to a tradition of transgressive art. In this provocative new book, Mattias Frey ofers a very different perspective on these films, exposing how they are also calculated products, designed to achieve global notoriety in a competitive marketplace. Extreme Cinema includes original interviews with the programmers of several leading international film festivals and with niche distributors and exhibitors, giving readers a revealing look at how these institutions enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the 'taboo-breakers' of arthouse cinema." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780813576497Contents: 1.

Five directors : auteurism from Assayas to Ozon / edited by Kate Ince Manchester, UK ; New York: Manchester University Press, 2008.
Call No: 621 INCSource: UK/USPlace: Manchester, UK ; New YorkPublisher: Manchester University PressPubDate: 2008PhysDes: viii, 157 p. ; 21 cmSubject: NOUVELLE VAGUE ; AUTEUR THEORY ; EUROPEAN CINEMA ; ASSAYAS, OLIVIER ; AUDIARD, JACQUES ; DARDENNE, JEAN-PIERRE & LUC ; HANEKE, MICHAEL ; OZON, FRANCOIS Summary: "This new appraisal of the continuing relevence of the auteur to filmmmaking in French will reinvigorate debate about the historic place of auteurism in both French and European cinema.
Auteurism - the ideea that a director of a film is its source of meaning and should retain creative control over the finished product - has been one of film studies' most important paradigms ever since the French 'nouvelle vague' of the late 1950s, and the adoption of the term auteur by Andrew Sarris.
Through the work of five important contemporary directors working in the French language, this book explores the ways in which the meaning of auteur has changed over this half-century. Its five dense and wide-ranging introductory essays to the films of Olivier Assayas, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke and Francois Ozon combine French philosophical and sociological approaches with methodologies from the Anglo-American fields of gender studies, queer theory and postmodernism.
This volume will be of interest to researchers working in French and European cinema and to students of film studies, European cinema, and French and Francophone studies, as well as to film enthusiasts."-BOOK BLURBNotes: includes bibliographical references

DAS WEISSE BAND - EINE DEUTSCHE KINDERGESCHICHTE ; WEISSE BAND, DAS - EINE DEUTSCHE KINDERGESCHICHTE (AU/G/FR/IT, Michael Haneke, 2009) Summary: "Taking its cues from the cinematic innovation of the controversial Austrian-born director Michael Haneke, Funny Frames explores how a polical thinking manifests itself in his work. Funny Frames does justice to the intelligence of Haneke films by exploring the permanent adjustment of the frame of reference in these films: the moment when the "looking at" of the viewer is suddenly revealed to be the "looking with" the perspective of a character. The book is divided into two parts. In the first, Oliver C. Speck explores some of Haneke's Deleuzian traits - showing how the theoretical concepts of the virtual, of filmic space and of realism can be useful tools for unlocking the problems that Haneke formulates and solves through filmic means. In the second, Speck discusses a range of topics that appear in all of Haneke's films but that haven't, until now, been fully noticed or analyzed. These chapters demonstrate how Haneke plays the role of "diagnostician of culture," how he reads - for example - madness, suicide and childhood. Like several other contemporary European directors, Haneke addresses topics considered difficult when measures by the standards of commerical cinema: the traumatic effects of violence, racism, and alienation. Funny Frames is an incisive and original contribution to the growing scholarship on one of the most intriguing auteurs of our time.
