Download or read book Psycho in the Shower written by Philip J. Skerry and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a brilliant study of one scene in one movie: the shower scene from Psycho. Every other chapter is an extended interview with someone who worked on the original film, or on Gus van Sant's remake from a few years ago. The non-interview chapters take various approaches to film criticism, and refer often to the author and his writing of this book. It's lightly done, but compelling and often very entertaining.

Download or read book The Pope and the Witch written by Dario Fo and published by Samuel French, Inc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature, Dario Fo's name is synonymous with anarchic political comedy. His best known plays in English include Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Can't Pay, Won't Pay and Trumpets and Raspberries. But for over thirty years Fo, often in collaboration with his wife, Franca Rame, has led the field in political satire in Europe: capitalism, imperialism and corruption in the Italian government being the main targets for his ideologically inspired attack. For performance outside Italy, his comedies are frequently adapted to reflect local political conditions. Drawing on all forms of popular theatre, Fo's reputation as a skilled actor, mime, and director equals that of his writing. Abducting Diana (Il ratto della Francesca) is also published by Oberon Books. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

Download or read book Hitchcock s Motifs written by Michael Walker and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the abundant Alfred Hitchcock literature, Hitchcock's Motifs has found a fresh angle. Starting from recurring objects, settings, character-types and events, Michael Walker tracks some forty motifs, themes and clusters across the whole of Hitchcock's oeuvre, including not only all his 52 extant feature films but also representative episodes from his TV series. Connections and deeper inflections that Hitchcock fans may have long sensed or suspected can now be seen for what they are: an intricately spun web of cross-references which gives this unique artist's work the depth, consistency and resonance that justifies Hitchcock's place as probably the best know film director ever. The title, the first book-length study of the subject, can be used as a mini-encyclopaedia of Hitchcock's motifs, but the individual entries also give full attention to the wider social contexts, hidden sources and the sometimes unconscious meanings present in the work and solidly linking it to its time and place.

Download or read book written by Snafu The Elder and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Love Stories for Men" is required reading for men. Passion and action fill stories set from twelve-hundred-years ago to the present. Trust, betrayal, uncertainty, happiness, hope, and fear are all here. From the high seas to the East Coast, the American Plains to Afghanistan, and the Dakotas to California, swordsmen, beggars, nurses, Indians, and soldiers fall in love in these fast-paced, romantic tales that have been cleverly disguised as magnificent exploits. "Love Stories for Men" is an incomplete collection-and as long as men dream and love, it will always be incomplete. But Snafu The Elder has compiled an entertaining set of stories that may leave you emotional. So get a handkerchief or tissue and be prepared to wipe away a few tears-but laughs and adventure also await you in "The Water Carrier," "The Witch of No Man's Land," "Queen of the Coast," and many more one-of-a-kind stories!

Download or read book A Little Blue Book of Bibliomancy written by Chet Williamson and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though primarily a writer of very accomplished fiction, Chet Williamson has also written non-fiction books, essays, plays, reviews, songs, and letters of complaint. What you’ll find in these pages is a grab-bag of his work that is largely unseen by his usual audience. There is one piece of fiction: “Returns.” And it is new to all but two readers. About ten years ago, Williamson began a secondary career as a playwright, having had a few produced—the most recent of which was He Comes For His Books, a roman a clef about Harold Pinter and first wife Vivien Merchant. There are two plays in his Little Blue Book—one a dramatic adaptation of one of his short stories, and the other of a novella. In the case of the novella, The Story of Noichi the Blind, Booklist said, "This extraordinary performance makes such comparably transgressive writing as the Marquis de Sade’s seem totally crude." The remaining pages contain reviews, tributes to four writers, and a handful of essays and blogs. A Little Blue Book of Bibliomancy promises to give readers new insights into one of our favorite writers.

Download or read book Hitchcock s Objects as Subjects written by Marc Raymond Strauss and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Hitchcock's imperative was to charge the screen with emotion. Subject matter and acting were, for him, subordinate to "all of the technical aspects that made the audience scream." Focusing on onscreen objects in Hitchcock's films, this study examines staircases, eyeglasses, lamps, doors, candles, cigarettes, buildings, monuments, statues and dozens of other props that the director treated as subjective protagonists, their roles nearly equal to the actors'. Examining each of the director's 52 extant films, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of Hitchcock's treatment of objects as subjects.

Download or read book Meaningful Absence Across Arts and Media written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focusses on a rarely discussed method of meaning production, namely via the absence, rather than presence, of signifiers. It does so from an interdisciplinary, transmedial perspective, which covers systematic, media-comparative and historical aspects, and reveals various forms and functions of missing signifiers across arts and media. The meaningful silences, blanks, lacunae, pauses, etc., treated by the ten contributors are taken from language and literature, film, comics, opera and instrumental music, architecture, and the visual arts. Contributors are: Nassim Balestrini, Walter Bernhart, Olga Fischer, Saskia Jaszoltowski, Henry Keazor, Peter Revers, Klaus Rieser, Daniel Stein, Anselm Wagner, Werner Wolf

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed author Valerie Martin returns with a dark comedy about love, sex, an actor's ambition, and the perils of playing a role too well. In this fictional memoir, Valerie Martin brilliantly re-creates the seamy theater world of 1970s New York, when rents were cheap, love was free, and nudity on stage was the latest craze. Edward Day, a talented and ambitious young actor finds his life forever altered during a weekend party on the Jersey Shore, where he seduces the delicious Madeleine Delavergne and is saved from drowning by the mysterious Guy Margate, a man who bears an eerie physical resemblance to Edward. Forever after, Edward is torn between his desire for Madeleine and his indebtedness to Guy, his rival in love and in art, on stage and off.
