Book DescriptionIn his bold new study of the career of one of filmmaking's premier directors, author James M Vest traces two intertwining strands of history: Alfred Hitchcock's interest in French culture, and French critics' sometimes complementary, sometimes confrontational interest in him In the 1950s, Hitchcock was increasingly committed овбнв to including French-related elements in his films to enhance suspense and humor At that same time, young critics in France-including Francois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, and Jean-Luc Godard-discovered in Hitchcock's films the mark of an auteur They saw in him the creator of a cohesive body of work that bore his unique imprint, and in so doing, they countered the dominant opinion of Hitchcock as a proficient craftsman but ultimately just a maker of implausible melodramas These interactions, explored fully and in-depth here, led not only to a revolution in film criticism, but also to a reenergizing of French cinema as well as the creation of a reputationthat has lasted decades Providing access to books, essays, reviews, screenplays, and advertisements not generally available, Hitchcock and France chronicles a crucial period in the history of both filmmaking and film-viewing.  2003 г 256 стр ISBN 0275970892.

Book DescriptionAs late as 1976, George Roy Hill was the first and only director to have two films on the all-time top ten box office hits: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting (both starring Robert Redford and Paul Newman) A filmmaker with a diverse background in music, drama and television, Hill proved to be a popular storyteller in a variety овбом of genres His films are tied to important American themes and reflect an ironic, bittersweet vision of life The book begins with a discussion of the way Hills films often make their most important statements on the subtextual level The stories entertain, but the subtext is often disturbing, contradictory, unresolved Hill felt that all of his major characters "create an environment, a fantasy, an illusion, and then go on to make it happen " It continues by tracing the thematic characteristics that are consistent with Hills depiction of protagonists who create their own environments and then attempt to inhabit them Then, individual chapters study in detail the art, craft and style of each of his films, including Thoroughly Modern Millie, Slaughterhouse Five, A Little Romance, The World According to Garp, Little Drummer Girl and Hills last film Funny Farm.  2004 г 220 стр ISBN 0786419318.

Book DescriptionBoldly signifying the cultural issues of the 1960s and 1970s in groundbreaking pieces such as Gimme Shelter, Showman, and Grey Gardens, filmmakers and brothers David and Albert Maysles utilized an approach to documentary film that involved spontaneous observation of naturally occurring events With no rehearsed footage and овбот no preconceived plots, their revolutionary work eschewed the authoritative voice-over narrator, didactic scripts, and traditional problem-and-solution format used by the majority of their predecessors in the genre and duly influenced subsequent directors in both fiction and nonfiction film Their collaboration from 1962 until Davids death in 1987 wrought thirteen major works in which the brothers critiqued the concept of celebrity with unglamorous footage of iconic figures, explored how commercialism hinders communication, and questioned the possibility of seeing anything clearly in a world abounding with both real and constructed images The Maysles brothers particular style, which they called "direct cinema," helped usher in a new, more probing and realistic form of documentary They are mentioned in many historical surveys of documentary film, but The Direct Cinema of David and Albert Maysles is the first full-length treatment of their career Despite the legacy the brothers left for filmmakers of all genres, film scholars and historians have generally considered the films monolithically and failed to look at the subtle shifts in their approachesover time Jonathan B Vogels remedies that oversight with this critical assessment of the complete Maysles catalog Vogels outlines how the Masyles brothers blended a unique amalgam of direct cinema characteristics, a modern humanist aesthetic, anda collaborative working process that included other directors and editors Looking at the films as both shapers and reflections of American culture, he points out that the works offer insights into a wide range of contemporary topics including materialism, celebrity, modern art, and the American family In addition to describing the changes in technology that made direct cinema possible, Vogels provides careful, scene-by-scene analyses that allow for a consideration of the Maysles brothers films asfilms, a tactic not frequently employed in nonfiction film studies.  2005 г 219 стр ISBN 0809326434.

A collection of the rare '50s pinups that led to the artist's final gig, as Playboy's first star cartoonist In the rarefied realm of classic cartoon pin-up art, nobody did it better than Jack Cole With his quirky line drawings and sensual watercolors, Cole, under Hugh Hefner's guiding hand, catapulted to stardom in the 1950s as Playboy's marquee овбму cartoonist, a position he held until his untimely death at the age of 43 Jack Cole, most recently the subject of a book profile by Art Spiegelman and Chip Kidd (Jack Cole and Plastic Man: Forms Stretched To Their Limits) has been justly celebrated as the creator of Plastic Man and an innovative comic book artist of the 1940s Cole had sold a handful of cartoons to magazines such as Boy's Life, Colliers and Judge in the '30s and '40s, but after finishing his 14-year run on Plastic Man, he found himself back at square one in an idiom that didn't come naturally to him: the gag cartoon According to Cole, his savior was the Humorama line of down-market digest magazines This girls and gags magazine circuit proved to be the perfect training ground to regain his footing and develop his craft at single panel cartoons While Cole may have been honing his skills as a gag writer, his ability to render the female form was already without peer Though he signed his cartoons "Jake," Cole's exquisite line drawings and masterful use of ink-washa skill he carried over Playboybetrayed his pseudonym In comparison to his contemporaries, however, Cole was probably Humorama's least prolific artist Though his images were frequently used for covers, Cole's cartoons were few and far between, with scarcely a single drawing appearing every five issues Along with a foreword by editor Alex Chun, this volume collects the best of these hidden gems, including several shot from Cole's stunning original art Most of these drawings have not seen print in more than 50 years; taken together, they provide a rare glimpse into the singular artistry of Jack Cole.  2004 г Суперобложка, 104 стр ISBN 1560975598.
