{"product_id":"fantasy-cinema-david-butler-9781906660161","title":"Fantasy Cinema: Impossible Worlds on Screen","description":"\u003cp\u003eOften dismissed as escapist tales of sword and sorcery or childish fairytales, fantasy is one of the fundamental impulses in filmmaking, a source of some of the most vivid and memorable films ever made. This volume covers the major genres, stylistic approaches, and exponents of cinematic fantasy, from Georges M駘i鑚, Walt Disney, and Andrei Tarkovsky to such contemporary fantasists as Terry Gilliam and Peter Jackson, and focuses on fantasy's social function and interpretations. Considering the popular and the experimental, subversive desires and reactionary dreams, this book is an engaging introduction to one of cinema's vital energies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1906660166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906660161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"David Butler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988052869375,"sku":"9781906660161","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5901a37d-3ff7-4ba4-911d-ef61fa65770f.jpg?v=1683292352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fantasy-cinema-david-butler-9781906660161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
