This has allowed Milan-based graphic designer Matteo Civaschi to isolate the very essence of movie plots, eliminating the superfluous and focusing on the essential. For example, two white triangles perpendicular to a red field suffice to evoke \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e. But even complex or lengthy plots can be reduced to this language, as the inclusion of TV series from \u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eBreaking Bad\u003c\/i\u003e attests. This book serves as a great gift for cinephiles, comedy fans and graphic designers alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matteo Civaschi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8857239675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857239675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.90h x 9.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Matteo Civaschi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072565342463,"sku":"9788857239675","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64275d9e-55c8-4a9e-9e87-ef0a875214ae.jpg?v=1685442732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minimal-film-matteo-civaschi-9788857239675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
