Slow Places in Bela Tarr's Films - The Intersection of Geography, Ecology and Slow Cinema (Hardcover): Clara Orban Slow Places in Bela Tarr's Films - The Intersection of Geography, Ecology and Slow Cinema (Hardcover)

Slow Places in Bela Tarr's Films explores Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr's approach to creating geographies of indifference through slow cinema techniques. Through a close examination of Tarr's filmography, Clara Orban observes that his interiors provide claustrophobic environments in which human relationships have difficult flourishing, while his exteriors become landscapes through which characters wander endlessly. Furthermore, Orban argues, Tarr's sparse use of animals provides contrast to the humans who inhabit these spaces, as they, too, are indifferent to humans' fates. Orban utilizes close readings of Tarr's films-including his earlier short films-along with relevant poems, a thorough filmography, and an interview with Tarr about aspects of this book to aid in her analysis. Ultimately, this book offers an accessible but detailed look at the geographic locations and ecological implications of the entire compendium of Tarr's productions.

By the time of his death, Herve Guibert had become a singular literary voice on the impact of AIDS in France. He was prolific. His oeuvre contained some twenty novels, including To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life and The Compassion Protocol. He was thirty-six years old. In Cytomegalovirus, Guibert offers an autobiographical narrative of the everyday moments of his hospitalization because of complications of AIDS. Cytomegalovirus is spare, biting, and anguished. Guibert writes through the minutiae of living and of death-as a quality of invention, of melancholy, of small victories in the face of greater threats-at the moment when his sight (and life) is eclipsed. This new edition includes an Introduction and Afterword contextualizing Guibert's work within the history of the AIDS pandemic, its relevance in the contemporary moment, and the importance of understanding the quotidian aspects of terminal illness.
