{"product_id":"poetics-of-cinema-2-raul-ruiz-9782914563253","title":"Poetics of Cinema 2","description":"\"Eleven years separate these lines from the first part of my \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e. Meanwhile the world has changed and cinema with it. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema, 1\u003c\/i\u003e had much of a call to arms about it. What I write today is rather more of a \u003ci\u003econsolatio philosophica\u003c\/i\u003e. However, let no one be mistaken about this, a healthy pessimism may be better than a suicidal optimism.\" Following his research in \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema, 1\u003c\/i\u003e on new narrative models as tools for apprehending a fast-shifting world, Ruiz makes an appeal for an entirely new way of filming, writing and conceiving the image. 'Light, more light, ' were Goethe's last words as he died. 'Less light, less light, ' Orson Welles cried repeatedly on a set--the one and only time I saw him. In today's cinema (and in today's world) there is too much light. It is time to return to the shadows. So, about turn! And back to the caverns!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raul Ruiz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2914563256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782914563253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dis Voir Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 6.33w x 0.41d","brand":"Raul Ruiz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940727226623,"sku":"9782914563253","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fa7e5d57-22ea-437f-a63b-be7c7eeb983f.jpg?v=1681448845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetics-of-cinema-2-raul-ruiz-9782914563253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
