Music, Authorship, Narration, and Art Cinema in Europe: 1940s to
1980s investigates the function of music in European cinema after
the Second World War up to the fall of the Berlin wall, a period
when composers and directors embraced experimentation. Through
analyses of music and sound in a wide range of iconic films from
across Europe, the essays in this book provide a nuanced
reconsideration of three core themes: auteur theory, art house
film, and national cinema. Chapters written by an international
array of contributors focus on case studies of music in the cinema
of Carlos Saura, Jean-Pierre Melville, the Polish School, and
Romanian directors, as well as collaborations between directors and
composers, including Michelangelo Antonioni and Giovanni Fusco,
Federico Fellini and Nino Rota, Leo Arnshtam and Dmitry
Shostakovich, and Peter Greenaway and Michael Nyman. The
contributors shift the emphasis from a director-centered view to
the working relationship between director and composer, and from
the visual component to the sonic aspects of these films, without
ignoring the close correlation between soundtrack and visual
elements. Enriching our understanding of the complex, intertwined
nature of authorship in film, the role of film music, and sound,
nation-state and art cinema, and European cinematic history, this
volume offers a valuable addition to research across music and film
studies.
