Rainer Werner Fassbinder provides an early model of open adaptation of film classics, followed ever more boldly by the Coen Brothers, Chantal Akerman, Alex Carax, Todd Haynes, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, Baz Luhrmann, and Olivier Assayas. This book devotes chapters to each of these directors to examine how their films redeploy landmark precursors such as \u003ci\u003eCity Lights \u003c\/i\u003e(1931), \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e (1941), \u003ci\u003eRome Open City\u003c\/i\u003e (1945), \u003ci\u003eAll About Eve\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), and \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e (1958) in order to probe our psychological, philosophical, and historical situations in a postmodern \u003ci\u003esociété du spectacle.\u003c\/i\u003e In broadly diverse ways, each of these directors complicates received notions of the past and its representation, while probing the transformative media evolution and dislocation of the present, in film art and in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-04-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030629366\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-62934-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 279\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45418065854604,"sku":"9783030629366","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030629366.jpg?v=1774037138","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030629366","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
