{"product_id":"mysteries-of-cinema-adrian-martin-9789462986831","title":"Mysteries of Cinema: Reflections on Film Theory, History and Culture 1982-2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe major essays of the distinguished and prolific Australian-born film critic Adrian Martin have long been difficult to access, so this anthology, which collects highlights of his work in one volume, will be welcomed throughout film studies. Martin offers indepth analysis of many genres of films while providing a broad understanding of the history of cinema and the history of film criticism and culture. These vibrant, highly personal essays, written between 1982 and 2016, balance breadth across cinema theory with almost encyclopedic detail, ranging between aesthetics, cinephilia, film genre, criticism, philosophy, and cultural politics. \u003ci\u003eMysteries of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e circumscribes a special cultural period that began with the dream of critique as a form of poetic writing, and today arrives at collaborative experiments in audiovisual essays. Throughout these essays, Martin pursues a particular vision of what cinema has been, what it is, and what it still could be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462986835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462986831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Adrian Martin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454116606207,"sku":"9789462986831","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14cef2b7-e2a9-4765-adf9-ca53d29d9f32.jpg?v=1777304261","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mysteries-of-cinema-adrian-martin-9789462986831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
