Comprised of a series of elegantly-written and intellectually vibrant essays, Sam Rohdie's book carefully expresses his ideas and arguments in a manner free from the complexities of contemporary theory and cultural criticism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs much a book written with the cinema as about it, Montage explores associative and comparative possibilities in the films of directors such as Takeshi Kitano, Jean Renoir, D.W. Griffith, Howard Hawks, Lev Kulsehov, Sergei Eisenstein and Alfred Hitchcock. It offers new and fascinating perspectives on mise en sc鈩e, framing, shots, and narrative variation. In combining the sensitive analysis of film forms and structures with an awareness of their historical and artistic relation to other art forms, it also elucidates an appreciation of montage aesthetics that is attentive to the influences of photography, painting and other arts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMontage is a book that will enrich our ways of seeing, understanding, and enjoying the cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Rohdie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719070392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719070396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.20w x 0.10d","brand":"Sam Rohdie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981133021439,"sku":"9780719070396","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9b58dd0-e456-4572-b3d5-8044422c752f.jpg?v=1683253838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/montage-sam-rohdie-9780719070396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
