Spectacle in Classical Cinemas (eBook, ePUB)

Musicality and Historicity in the 1930s

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings a fresh perspective on the role of the spectacular in classical sound cinema by focusing on one decade of cinema (the 1930s), in two 'modes' of filmmaking (musical and historical films), and in two national cinemas (the US and France). This not only brings to light the special rhetorical and affective possibilities offered by spectacular images but refines our understanding of what 'classical' cinema is and was.
