{"product_id":"jacques-tourneur-chris-fujiwara-9780786466115","title":"Jacques Tourneur: The Cinema of Nightfall","description":"\u003cp\u003e At least three of director Jacques Tourneur's films--\u003ci\u003eCat People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eI Walked with a Zombie\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Leopard Man\u003c\/i\u003e--are recognized as horror classics. Yet his contributions to these films are often minimized by scholars, with most of the credit going to the films' producer, Val Lewton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A detailed examination of the director's full body of work reveals that those elements most evident in the Tourneur-Lewton collaborations--the lack of monsters and the stylized use of suggested violence--are equally apparent in Tourneur's films before and after his work with Lewton. Mystery and sensuality were hallmarks of his style, and he possessed a highly artistic visual and aural style. This insightful critical study examines each of Tourneur's films, as well as his extensive work on MGM shorts (1936-1942) and in television. What emerges is evidence of a highly coherent directorial style that runs throughout Tourneur's works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Fujiwara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786466111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786466115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.96h x 7.51w x 0.83d","brand":"Chris Fujiwara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996817785087,"sku":"9780786466115","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d18f1020-2579-4cb8-8883-d0703363ec23.jpg?v=1683343868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jacques-tourneur-chris-fujiwara-9780786466115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
