In this new collection of essays on film, all written over the last
ten years, Peter Wollen explores an extraordinarily wide range of
topics, stretching from an analysis of 'Time in Film and Video Art'
to a study of 'Riff-Raff Realism' in British films. There are
provocative discussions of the works of established auteur
directors such as Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock and of the
film-making careers of such experimental movie-makers as William
Burroughs and Viking Eggeling, the dadaist pioneer of abstract
film. The collection also includes fascinating studies of a number
of film classics, such as John Huston's Freud, Jean Renoir's Rules
of the Game and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Other essays deal with
the relationship of film to the other arts, such as dance and
architecture, and explore the interaction between film and
anthropology. This is not a theoretical book but it is one that
suggests many new approaches to thinking about film and many
unexpected connections between film studies and the history of such
strangely related activities as espionage, psychoanalysis,
Stalinism, love of speed and digital technology. Full of
fascinating new insights, Peter Wollen's new book is based on the
premise that there are no fixed ways of writing about film but,
rather, a plethora of paths leading in very different directions,
each contributing to a new understanding of the twentieth century's
major art-form.
