Gopalan assembles films from Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Trivandrum, in addition to independent productions in Bombay cinema, as a way of privileging understudied works that deserve critical attention. The book uses close readings of films and a deep investigation of film style to draw attention to the advent of digital technologies while remaining fully cognizant of 'the digital' as a cryptic formulation for considering the sea change in the global circulation of film and finance. This dual focus on both the techno-material conditions of Indian cinema and the film narrative offers a fulsome picture of changing narratives and shifting genres and styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lalitha Gopalan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030540952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030540951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.06d","brand":"Lalitha Gopalan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982788755711,"sku":"9783030540951","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04fa7aa3-4b6e-4104-9514-b4fce6736134.jpg?v=1683263032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinemas-dark-and-slow-in-lalitha-gopalan-9783030540951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
