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 3030540987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030540982\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\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.97d","brand":"Lalitha Gopalan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946047078655,"sku":"9783030540982","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c9fcbe52-b8f9-4ae2-aaaf-85b3c30c97e8.jpg?v=1681511224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinemas-dark-and-slow-in-lalitha-gopalan-9783030540982","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
