Testing Coherence in Narrative Film: Palgrave Close Readings in Film and Television

Autor Katerina Virvidaki
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 oct 2017
This book examines the concept of coherence in film studies. It asks if there are ways to appreciate the achievement of coherence in narrative films that are characterised by an eccentric or difficult style, as well as by an apparently confusing intelligibility. In order to answer this critical question, the author argues that we need to reconsider the predominant understanding of the concept of coherence in film studies. Virvidaki identifies how a general function of coherence is manifested through the aesthetic of transparency and unobtrusiveness of classical Hollywood film. The author then proceeds to a close analysis of stylistically perplexing narrative films, in order to demonstrate how we can broaden, expand and readjust the classical criteria of coherence. Testing Coherence in Narrative Film will appeal to film and philosophy scholars interested in aesthetics and narrative form.

Caracteristici

Considers the notion of coherence in narrative film as an aesthetic achievement Dissociates coherence from a specific model, period or tradition of film, arguing that a productive critical concept of coherence in film studies can and must be based on an exploratory and variegated understanding of the concept’s workings Draws together a range of very different films, from Max Ophuls’ classically structured Madame de… to Jean-Luc Godard’s ‘radical’ Passion and Quentin Tarantino’s seminal Pulp Fiction Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
