Focusing mainly on early films, \u003ci\u003ePolitics as Form in Lars von Trier \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies recurring formal elements in von Trier's oeuvre and discusses the formal complexity of his films under the rubric of the post-Brechtian. Through an in depth formal analysis, the book shows that Brecht is more important to von Trier's work than what most critics seem to acknowledge and deems von Trier as a dialectical filmmaker. This study draws on many untranslated resources and features an interview with Lars von Trier, and another one with his mentor - the great Danish director J rgen Leth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angelos Koutsourakis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150130769X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501307690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Angelos Koutsourakis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124250079487,"sku":"9781501307690","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36f6c706-b653-48bb-a37f-ec5fcfa7b6b0.jpg?v=1687435638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-as-form-in-lars-angelos-koutsourakis-9781501307690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
