Meanwhile the world has changed and cinema with it. \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema, 1\u003c\/i\u003e had much of a call to arms about it. What I write today is rather more of a \u003ci\u003econsolatio philosophica\u003c\/i\u003e. However, let no one be mistaken about this, a healthy pessimism may be better than a suicidal optimism.\" Following his research in \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Cinema, 1\u003c\/i\u003e on new narrative models as tools for apprehending a fast-shifting world, Ruiz makes an appeal for an entirely new way of filming, writing and conceiving the image. 'Light, more light, ' were Goethe's last words as he died. 'Less light, less light, ' Orson Welles cried repeatedly on a set--the one and only time I saw him. In today's cinema (and in today's world) there is too much light. It is time to return to the shadows. So, about turn! And back to the caverns!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.28 x 6.33 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769764380960,"sku":"9782914563253","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1ad3096fe6262d517ada6505fc150d13.webp?v=1780355841","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/poetics-of-cinema-2-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
