{"product_id":"cities-in-transition-andrew-webber-9781905674312","title":"Cities in Transition: The Moving Image and the Modern Metropolis","description":"The city is one of the greatest unsung heroes in cinema - a modernist inspiration for silent classics such as Metropolis (1926) and a dense urban jungle in The Matrix (1999) - yet there have been few attempts to grasp the cultural and aesthetic nature of its role in film. This volume is an ambitious collection of writings and photo-essays discussing this complex yet enduring relationship, and how early cinema, digital technology and changing urban geographies have all impacted upon notions and representations of the modern city. Amongst the films discussed are Peeping Tom (1960), Performance (1970), Sans Soleil (1983) and Amores perros (2000). Contributions come from the fields of film studies, cultural theory, architecture and design, as well as filmmakers Patrick Keiller and Chris Petit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Webber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905674317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905674312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/12\/2008 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009","brand":"Andrew Webber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453948080383,"sku":"9781905674312","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_808dc914-4611-4ec5-9c4b-34737b70916d.jpg?v=1777303212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cities-in-transition-andrew-webber-9781905674312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
