This book is at once a detailed study of a range of individual
filmmakers and a study of the modernism in which they are situated.
It consists of fifty categories arranged in alphabetical order,
among which are allegory, bricolage, classicism, contradiction,
desire, destructuring and writing. Each category, though
autonomous, interacts, intersects and juxtaposes with the others,
entering into a dialogue with them and in so doing creates
connections, illuminations, associations and rhymes which may not
have arisen in a more conventional framework. The author refers to
particular films and directors that raise questions related to
modernism, and, inevitably, thereby to classicism. Jean-Luc
Godard's work is at the centre of the book, though it spreads out,
evokes and echoes other filmmakers and their work, including the
films of Michelangelo Antonioni, Bernardo Bertolucci, John Ford,
Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Joao Cesar Monteiro, Pier Paolo
Pasolini and Orson Welles. This innovative and eloquently written
text book will be an essential resource for all film students. -- .
