This compelling study corrects such omissions by detailing the theory and practice of alternative adaptation practices from major avant-garde directors. Avant-Garde films are often relegated to the margins because they challenge our traditional notions of what film form and style can accomplish. Directors who choose to adapt previous material run the risk of severe critical dismay; making films that are highly subjective interpretations or representations of existing texts takes courage and foresight. An avant-garde adaptation provokes spectators by making them re-think what they know about film itself, just as much as the previous source material.Adaptation and the Avant-Garde examines films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Maddin, Jan Svankmajer and many others, offering illuminating insights and making us reconsider the nature of adaptation, appropriation, borrowing, and the re-imagining of previous sources. -- extract taken from the back of the book. --Notes: Formerly CIP. --

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.
