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. --

It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."

G Vaidyanathan has been the reviewer most film-makers, critics and movie-goers have always paid attention to. This collection of essays covers nearly three decades of film criticism by him. The book gathers together his essays on individual films in several languages, both Indian and foreign. The essays are energetic and acerbic, often partisan, but never dull. Written in an approachable style, they bring alive years of movie-watching in a manner neither entirely journalistic nor academic. The films discussed range from the Taviani brothers' Padre Padrone to Jonathon Demme's The Silence of the lambs and Benegal's Trikaal. There is a special section on Satyajit Ray, general pieces on the concerns of modern cinema in India, as well as accounts of Vaidyanathyan's encounters with directors such as Roman Polanski and Tomas Gutierrez Alea.

More amazing, all were critical and/or box office successes. What accounts for this explosion of interest? Much of the appeal of these films lies in our nostalgic desire at the end of the millenium for an age of greater politeness and sexual reticence. Austen's ridicule of deceit and pretentiousness also appeals to our fin de siècle sensibilities. The novels were changed, however, to enhance their appeal to a wide popular audience, and the revisions reveal much about our own culture and its values. These recent productions espouse explicitly twentieth-century feminist notions and reshape the Austenian hero to make him conform to modern expectations. Linda Troost and Sayre Greenfield present fourteen essays examining the phenomenon of Jane Austen as cultural icon, providing thoughtful and sympathetic insights on the films through a variety of critical approaches. The contributors debate whether these productions enhance or undercut the subtle feminism that Austen promoted in her novels." - BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 186-187) and indexISBN: 0813120845 (alk. paper)LON: 13891695Contents: Introduction: watching ourselves watching / Linda Troost and Sayre Greenfield -- Out of the drawing room, onto the lawn / Rachel M.

Leonard, 1940) ; OX-BOW INCIDENT, THE (US, William Wellman, 1943) ; MADAME BOVARY (US, Vincente Minnelli, 1949) Summary: "First published in 1957, this work of film theory analyzes the process - "the mysterious alchemy" - by which novels are transformed into films. Beginning with a discussion of the aesthetic limits of both the novel and the film, George Bluestone goes on to offer close readings of six films based on novels of serious literary merit - The Informer, Wuthering Heights, The Grapes of Wrath, Pride and Prejudice, The Ox-Bow Incident, and Madame Bovary - focusing on the additions, deletions, and other changes made by the filmmakers in adapting the source material for the screen. Based on both in-depth research into film archives and libraries and on interviews with the screenwriters, directors, and producers who worked on these films, Novels into Film concludes that because the novel lends itself to states of consciousness and the film to observed reality, the adaptation of one from the other produces a new and wholly autonomous art form."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes bibliographiesISBN: 080187386XLON: 57008449; 637427Contents: Ch. 1.

While a film reflects its literary source, it also invites comparisons to our memories of and associations with other versions of the original. For example, a viewer may watch the 2005 big-screen production of Pride and Prejudice and look back on the BBC's 1995 mini-series as well as Jane Austen's novel. Adaptations also rely on the conventions of genre, editing, acting, and sound to engage with our recollections-elements that many movie critics tend to forget when focusing solely on faithfulness to the written word."-BOOK JACKETNotes: includes filmography; includes bibliographical references; includes indexISBN: 9780742538214Donation: donated by Senses of CinemaContents: -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

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.

Prompted by the widespread success of these films, Gabriel Miller here re-evaluates the careers of the eight neglected novelists whose works inspired eight different directors - among them Sidney Lumet, Stanley Kubrick, John Huston, and Sidney Pollack. Each chapter offers a detailed interpretation of a particular film, its literary source, and the overall career of the novelist [...] Some of these interesting novels have never been dealt with at all; others have only recently attracted critical attention. The films, too, benefit from extended reassessment. Despite the fact that the movies were successful, moreso than the novels, they have attracted little in the way of useful analysis. Taken together, the double examination of the novel and film raises some important questions about the nature and problems of cinematic adaptation." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 199-203; Filmography: p. 196-198; Typo in the table of contents gives 'The Gangster' release date as 1957, it is actually 1947ISBN: 0804426228 : $9.95LON: 79048071; 1682173

In recent years, this has changed dramatically. The undead are fast and ferocious in 28 Days Later… (2002) and World War Z (2013). In Warm Bodies (2013) and In the Flesh (2013–2015), they are thoughtful, sensitive and capable of empathy. These sometimes radically different depictions of the undead (and the still living) suggest critical inquiries: What does it mean to be human? What makes a monster? Who survives the zombie apocalypse, and why? Focusing on classic and current movies and TV shows, the author reveals how the once-subversive modern zombie, now more popular than ever, has been co-opted by the mainstream culture industry. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 978147666730Contents: Acknowledgments -- Preface: Dawn of a Zombie Scholar -- Introduction: The Shifting Culture of the Modern Zombie -- 1.

Vampires and zombies : transcultural migrations and transnational interpretations / Edited by Dorothea Fischer-Hornung and Monika Mueller Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2016.
Call No: 735.2 FISAuthor: Fischer-Hornung, Dorothea ; Mueller, Monika Edition: 2016Place: JacksonPublisher: University Press of MississippiPubDate: 2016PhysDes: vi, 256 : illus. ; 24 cmSubject: VAMPIRE FILMS ; ZOMBIES IN FILMS AND TV ; MONSTERS IN FILMS ; THAILAND ; MEXICO ; WORLD WAR Z (US/MT, Marc Forster, 2013) ; VAMPYR : DER TRAUM DES ALLEN GRAY (G/FR, Carl Th. Dreyer, 1932) ; VAMPIRO, EL (MX, Paul Nagle, 1959) Notes: The undead are very much alive in contemporary entertainment and lore. Indeed, vampires and zombies have garnered attention in print media, cinema, and on television. The vampire, with roots in medieval European folklore, and the zombie, with origins in Afro-Caribbean mythology, have both undergone significant transformations in global culture, proliferating as deviant representatives of the zeitgeist.
As this volume demonstrates, distribution of vampires and zombies across time and space has revealed these undead figures to carry multiple meanings. Of all monsters, vampires and zombies seem to be the most trendy--the most regularly incarnate of the undead and the monsters most frequently represented in the media and pop culture. Moreover, both figures have experienced radical reinterpretations. If in the past vampires were evil, blood-sucking exploiters and zombies were brainless victims, they now have metamorphosed into kinder and gentler blood-sucking vampires and crueler, more relentless, flesh-eating zombies. Although the portrayals of both vampires and zombies can be traced back to specific regions and predate mass media, the introduction of mass distribution through film and game technologies has significantly modified their depiction over time and in new environments. Among other topics, contributors discuss zombies in Thai films, vampire novels of Mexico, and undead avatars in horror videogames. This volume--with scholars from different national and cultural backgrounds--explores the transformations that the vampire and zombie figures undergo when they travel globally and through various media and cultures.

CARROLL, LEWIS Summary: Since the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in 1865, Lewis Carroll’s Alice has delighted children and adults alike. However, this girl-hero was always destined for life beyond the page.
From silent film to animation, she has been portrayed many times and continues to inspire. Wonderland follows Alice’s journey from page to screen, from 1903’s silent Alice in Wonderland to her first talking film in 1931, to Tim Burton’s recent blockbusters. It celebrates the endurance of Carroll’s stories and characters, and the remarkable technological innovations that have enabled filmmakers to continually reimagine Alice.
Tracing Alice’s evolution on screen, Wonderland is a journey down the rabbit hole and into an enchanted world where expectations are upended and curiosity rewarded. -- publisher's web siteNotes: This publication is produced in partnership with Senses of CinemaISBN: 9780500501177
