The Man from La Mancha: An in-depth exploration of Almod#65533;var's complete oeuvre   Un film de Almod#65533;var: whether appearing in his stylish opening credits or on the suggestive poster that invariably accompanies each of his films, this announcement triggers a range of expectations. Sexy an d subversive, colorful and controversial, passionate and provocative, Pedro Almod#65533;var's world is unlike any other director's. Thanks to his remarkably cohesive and consistent oeuvre, the Manchegan maverick has become a reliable brand, his name a byword for the visual opulence, experimentation and eroticism of post-Franco Spanish cinema. Almod#65533;var found fame with self-penned, gender-bending plots depicting the often comic misfortunes of junkies, nuns, housewives, whores, transvestites and transsexuals. Praised by critics, championed by fellow film-makers, adored by actors and adorned with international awards, he is the most successful Spanish film-maker since Luis Bu#65533;uel, with films such as Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, All About My Mother, Talk to Her, and Volver. A self-taught auteur, Almod#65533;var draws on influences as diverse as Douglas Sirk, Frank Tashlin, Andy Warhol and John Waters. His feature films borrow liberally from, and frequently invert, traditional genres of classic American cinema--including film noir, melodrama and screwball comedy. Yet they remain unmistakably Iberian, rooted predominantly in the director's beloved Madrid, exploring Spanish myths and modernity to the rhythms of bolero-laden soundtracks. Most recently, the enfant terrible of the 1980s arthouse scene has matured into the Academy Award-winning director of All About My Mother, a film universally acknowledged for its emotional resonance, sophistication and craftsmanship. Almod#65533;var's distinctive, once marginalized world has finally entered the mainstream. For this unprecedented monograph, Pedro Almod#65533;var has given TASCHEN complete access to his archives, including never-before-published images, such as personal photos he took during filming. In addition to writing captions for the photos, Almod#65533;var invited prominent Spanish authors to write introductions to each of his films, and selected many of his own texts to accompany this visual odyssey through his complete works. Over 600 images, including many previously unpublished. Includes images from his new film, The Skin I Live In (2011), which will be released worldwide at the same time as the book. Book includes a film strip from Volver (2006), taken from Almod#65533;var's archive. ...Show more

David Lynch: The Unified Field by Robert Cozzolino

$65.95 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Film and Television

David Lynch is internationally renowned as a filmmaker, but it is less known that he began his creative life as a visual artist and has maintained a devoted studio practice, developing an extensive body of painting, prints, photography, and drawing. Featuring work from all periods of Lynch's career, thi s book documents Lynch's first major museum exhibition in the United States, bringing together works held in American and European collections and from the artist's studio. Much like his movies, many of Lynch's artworks revolve around suggestions of violence, dark humor, and mystery, conveying an air of the uncanny. This is often conveyed through the addition of text, wildly distorted forms, and disturbances in the paint fields that surround or envelop his figures. While a few relate to his film projects, most are independent works of art that reveal a parallel trajectory. Organized in close collaboration with the artist, David Lynch: The Unified Field brings together ninety-five paintings, drawings, and prints from 1965 to the present, often unified by the recurring motif of the home as a site of violence, memories, and passion. Other works explore the odd, tender, and mincing aspects of relationships. Highlighting many works that have rarely been seen in public, including early work from his critical years in Philadelphia (1965 70), this catalog offers a substantial response to dealer Leo Castelli's comment when he enthusiastically viewed Lynch's work in 1987, I would like to know how he got to this point; he cannot be born out of the head of Zeus." Published in association with the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. ...Show more

LA Times '[A] cubist portrait of the artist, body and mind on separate tracks...Room to Dreamoffers countless new stories, even for Lynch fanatics.' Washington Post 'What makes this book endearing is its chatty, calm...anti-Hollywood attitude...and matter-of-fact defiance of reality.' San Francisco Chronicle 'The book doesn't give us one focused view of Lynch, but a double vision, as though two similar but not quite exact portraits of the man have been projected onto one another...There is value, joy, and beauty in staying with Lynch and his cohorts for these 500-plus pages.' Los Angeles Times 'Intimate and honest...McKenna's interviewees unfailingly describe Lynch's charisma and warmth, and his methodical but instinctive dedication to craft.' NPR 'Insightful, well-researched...The book abounds in great stories and terrific movie trivia that will sate Lynch fans for years to come.' Kirkus Reviews 'If you expected a David Lynch biography to be just like any other biography, you've never seen a David Lynch movie...Fascinating.' New York Times 'David Lynch's memoir illuminates the origins of his art...the humour and eccentricity of Mr Lynch's own reminiscences and observations are the book's main pleasure.'

Maya Deren: Incomplete Control by Sarah Keller

$52.95 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Film and Television | Series: Film and Culture Series

Maya Deren (1917--1961) was a Russian-born American filmmaker, theorist, poet, and photographer working at the forefront of the American avant-garde in the 1940s and 1950s. Influenced by Jean Cocteau and Marcel Duchamp, she is best known for her seminal film Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), a dream-like experiment with time and symbol, looped narrative and provocative imagery, setting the stage for the twentieth-century's groundbreaking aesthetic movements and films. Maya Deren assesses both the filmmaker's completed work and her numerous unfinished projects, arguing Deren's overarching aesthetic is founded on principles of incompletion, contingency, and openness. Combining the contrasting approaches of documentary, experimental, and creative film, Deren created a wholly original experience for film audiences that disrupted the subjectivity of cinema, its standards of continuity, and its dubious facility with promoting categories of realism. This critical retrospective reflects on the development of Deren's career and the productive tensions she initiated that continue to energize film. ...Show more

Category: Film and Television

"This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last ). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond ... a very timely volume." -Christopher Frayling, from the introductionThe French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses--in France and internationally--helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies of more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved--the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who defined the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Swierzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Ruminski, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, Ren Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdenek Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet'al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more. ...Show more
