Much of what made it notorious was its incorporation of real people, events and lifestyles, making it a documentation of its time. It uses performance, camera movement, editing and music to produce a striking aesthetic mix of energy and listlessness, of exuberance and despair. Richard Dyer's study considers each of these aspects of the film - phenomenon, document, aesthetic - and argues that they are connected. Beginning with the inspirations and ideas that were subsequently turned into \u003ci\u003eLa dolce vita, \u003c\/i\u003eDyer then explores the making of the film, the film itself and finally its critical reception, providing engaging new insights into this mesmerising piece of cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Dyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838719849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838719845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Richard Dyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983123579135,"sku":"9781838719845","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04a1b229-57fb-420d-845d-d5b2ffa7a42e.jpg?v=1683264804","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/la-dolce-vita-richard-dyer-9781838719845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
