Each volume can be read on its own as dealing with a separate aspect of cinema: classical and modern, pre- and post-war, movement and time.
In this second volume Deleuze is concerned with the representation of time in film and with the cinematic treatment of memory, thought and speech. Drawing on the philosophy of Henri Bergson, Deleuze provides a theoretical framework within which he analyses and classifies the time-image and traces the history of its emergence, focusing on the cinema of post-war neo-realism." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: (originally in French 'Cinema 2, L'Image-Temps,' 1985); Preface to the English edition; Translators intoductoin; Notes; Glossary; IndexISBN: 0485120704Language: EnglishDonation: Adrian MilesContents: 1.

In this highly original examination of time in film Sean Cubitt tries to get at the root of the uncanny effect produced by images and sounds that don’t quite align with reality.

In this definitive study, Leo Braudy tells the complicated story of the film’s production. He revisits the facts behind the controversy of Kazan’s infamous ‘naming of names’ during the McCarthy communist trials of the 1950s. But above all this is an analysis of the enduring appeal of On the Waterfront: the method inspired acting, the music and cinematography, the use of authentic locations and its powerfully symbolic depiction of post-war American values.

Call No: TITLE CLIPPINGS FILE; MALTESE FALCON, THE (US, John Huston, 1941)Author: Stern, Lesley PhysDes: ArticleSubject: THEORY ; IMAGE ANALYSIS ; MALTESE FALCON, THE (US, John Huston, 1941) Summary: Stern's investigation is akin to grubbing along in the hedgerows, messing about with things in order to understand two or three things about the cinematic image and its capacity for rendering the material dimension of the everyday. Stern claims that the quotidian is the only sphere or modality in which things materialize cinematically but that the quotidian provides a particularly illuminating way into understanding, first, certain cinematic operation and, second, the mutability of things in the cinema. -- article abstract provided by publisher
