Examining the centrality of dialogue to American independent
cinema, Jennifer O’Meara argues that it is impossible to separate
small budgets from the old adage that `talk is cheap’. Focusing
on the 1980s until the present, particularly on the films by
writer-directors like Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach and Richard
Linklater, this book demonstrates dialogue’s ability to engage
audiences and bind together the narrative, aesthetic and
performative elements of selected cinema. Questioning the
association of dialogue-centred films with the `literary’ and the
`un-cinematic’, O’Meara highlights how speech in independent
cinema can instead hinge on what is termed `cinematic verbalism’:
when dialogue is designed and executed in complex, medium-specific
ways.
