El estudio más completo de Stanley Kubrick hasta la fecha, un director cuyas películas son siempre experiencias visuales sublimes; la cumbre del arte de la narración en pantalla grande. Con imágenes ampliadas de tomas cinematograficas y materiales ineditos de Kubrick, incluidos carteles, bocetos de escenografias, accesorios, guiones y cuadernos...Este es el primer libro que explora los archivos de Stanley Kubrick y el estudio mas completo del cineasta hasta la fecha. En 1968, cuando le pidieron a Stanley Kubrick que hiciese un comentario sobre el significado metafisico de 2001: Una odisea del espacio, el contesto:Nunca pretendi expresar con palabras el mensaje de la pelicula.. 2001 es una experiencia no verbalIntente crear una experiencia visual que se escapara al encasillamiento de las palabras y penetrara directamente en el subconsciente con un contenido emocional y filosofico. La filosofia tras la primera parte de The Stanley Kubrick Archives procede de esta linea de pensamiento: desde la secuencia inicial de El beso del asesino a los ultimos fotogramas de Eyes Wide Shut, todas las peliculas de Kubrick se presentan cronologicamente y sin palabras por medio de ampliaciones de fotogramas.

Part 1: The filmsIn 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: Its not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience.... I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. The philosophy behind Part I borrows from this line of thinking: from the opening sequence of Killers Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubricks complete films will be presented chronologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. A completely nonverbal experience.Part 2: The Creative Process Divided into chapters chronologically by film, Part 2 brings to life the creative process of Kubricks filmmaking by presenting a remarkable collection of material from his archives, including photographs, props, posters, artwork, set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules. Accompanying the visual material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubricks best interviews.

This book gives even longtime Bergman fans a new understanding of his sensitivity to nuance his versatility and his dedication to craftsmanship

In The Phenomenology of Religious Belief the renowned philosopher Michael J Shapiro investigates how art and in particular literature and film can impact upon both traditional interpretations and critical studies of religious beliefs and experiences In doing so he examines the work of prolific and award winning writers such as Toni Morrison Philip K Dick and Robert Coover By placing their work in conjunction with critical analyses of media by the likes of Ingmar Bergman and Pier Paolo Pasolini and combining it with the work of groundbreaking thinkers such as George Canguilhem Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj iek Shapiro takes a truly interdisciplinary approach to the question of how life should be lived His assessment of phenomenological subjectivity also leads him to question the nature of political theology and extend the criticism of Pauline theology

An in-depth look at, and written in collaboration with, the man considered to be the most profound, and commercially successful director at work today--a franchise unto himself--whose deeply personal million-dollar blockbuster movies (The Dark Knight (2008), Inception (2010), Dunkirk (2017) among them) have earned more than $4.7 billion worldwide: his work, his influences, his vision, his enigmatic childhood past, and much more. With Nolan's never-before-seen photographs, storyboards, and scene sketches. A rare, intimate portrait of Christopher Nolan with the full cooperation of Nolan himself who opened up more fully than ever before in his talks with Tom Shone. In chapters structured by themes and motifs ("Time"; "Chaos"), Shone writes of Nolan's thoughts on movies, on plots; on time, identity, perception, chaos, daydreams. Here is Nolan on the evolution of his pictures, and the writers, artists, directors, and thinkers who have inspired and informed his films. To write the book, Tom Shone, who has known Nolan for more than two decades and who spent months with the director, was given unprecedented access to Nolan's notes, scripts, storyboards, and artwork.

One of our most thoughtful film critics here takes on eight of Hollywood s finest directors in conversation reminiscing about their working lives which spanned the most intriguing decades of American filmmaking The directors are Alfred Hitchcock Frank Capra Vincente Minnelli George Cukor Howard Hawks William A Wellman King Vidor and Raoul Walsh Speaking with them Mr Schickel found in these men a special quality They felt in their bones the character and quality of a vanished America There was something valuable to be learned from them not merely about the cinema but about the conduct of life Each of these directors created a canon of work that even today sustains critical analysis without sacrificing popular appeal Each maintained his artistic integrity while working in an atmosphere generally credited with ruining rather than nurturing talent Their attitudes Mr Schickel writes in his introduction were composed of a toughness that was never harsh a pride in achievement that was never boastful a self reliance and an acceptance of the difficulties under which they had labored which contained neither self pity nor a desire to blame others for the things that had gone wrong Rich in behind the scenes stories about such modern classics as It Happ

Desde 1957, año en el que realizó El séptimo sello y Fresas salvajes, Ingmar Bergman ha sido una de las principales figuras del cine internacional. A lo largo de una trayectoria de 60 años, Bergman escribio, produjo y dirigio cincuenta peliculas que definieron la concepcion del individuo sobre si mismo y su relacion con las personas a las que ama, en peliculas como Persona, Secretos de un matrimonio o Fanny y Alexander. Antes de su muerte en 2007, Bergman concedio a los coeditores TASCHEN y Max Strom el completo acceso a sus archivos en la Fundacion Bergman y la autorizacion para reeditar sus escritos y entrevistas, muchos de los cuales no habian sido difundidos mas alla de las fronteras de Suecia. El investigador de cine Bengt Wanselius, que fue el fotografo de Bergman durante 20 años, busco archivos fotograficos por todo el pais, descubrio imagenes nunca vistas de las peliculas de Bergman y selecciono fotografias ineditas de los archivos personales de numerosos autores. Esta reedicion nace a partir del titulo descatalogado Bergman Archives, el libro mas completo sobre el director publicado hasta la fecha. Para esta premiada produccion, el editor de TASCHEN Paul Duncan se reunio con un equipo de expertos en la obra de Bergman que investigaron y redactaron un texto que, por vez primera, reunio todo el trabajo de Bergman en el cine. Tal es la profundidad de los escritos del director, que la mayor parte de la historia esta contada con sus propias palabras. El libro cuenta tambien con una introduccion escrita por un amigo y colaborador de Bergman, el actor Erland Josephson. El 24 de noviembre de 2008, Paul Duncan y Bengt Wanselius ganaron el premio August al mejor libro de no ficcion publicado en Suecia ese año. Se trata del premio literario de mayor prestigio en el pais, votado por libreros y bibliotecarios.
