Download or read book The Adventure of the Real written by Paul Henley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though relatively unsung in the English-speaking world, Jean Rouch (1917–2004) was a towering figure of ethnographic cinema. Over the course of a fifty-year career, he completed over one hundred films, both documentary and fiction, and exerted an influence far beyond academia. Exhaustively researched yet elegantly written, The Adventure of the Real is the first comprehensive analysis of his practical filmmaking methods. Rouch developed these methods while conducting anthropological research in West Africa in the 1940s–1950s. His innovative use of unscripted improvisation by his subjects had a profound impact on the French New Wave, Paul Henley reveals, while his documentary work launched the genre of cinema-vérité. In addition to tracking Rouch’s pioneering career, Henley examines the technical strategies, aesthetic considerations, and ethical positions that contribute to Rouch’s cinematographic legacy. Featuring over one hundred and fifty images, The Adventure of the Real is an essential introduction to Rouch’s work.

Download or read book Andre Bazin on Adaptation written by André Bazin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adaptation was central to André Bazin's lifelong query: What is cinema? Placing films alongside literature let him identify the aesthetic and sociological distinctiveness of each. More importantly, it helped him wage his campaign for a modern conception of cinema, one that owed a great deal to developments in the novel. His critical genius is on full display in this collection, where readers are introduced to the foundational concepts of the relationship between film and literary adaptation as put forth by one of the greatest film and cultural critics of the 20th century. Expertly curated and with an introduction by celebrated film scholar Dudley Andrew, the book begins with a selection of essays that show Bazin's film theory in action, followed by reviews of films adapted from renowned novelists of the day (Conrad, Hemingway, Steinbeck; Colette, Sagan, Duras; and more) as well as classic novels of the 19th century (Bronte, Melville, Tolstoy; Balzac, Hugo, Zola; Stendhal and more). Taken together, this volume will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in literary adaptation, authorship, classical film theory, French film history, and André Bazin's criticism alike. As a bonus, 250 years of French fiction is put in play as Bazin assesses adaptation after adaptation to determine what is at stake for culture, for literature and especially for cinema"--
