Abstract

This intriguing text overturns a myth of film history by examining new evidence surrounding the authorship of Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari - a film that still exerts its gothic spell after nearly a century. A new introduction considers the place of German Expressionist cinema within the European revival of Gothic at the turn of the 20th century. With its jagged, stylised sets, menacing shadows and themes of murder, madness and delirium, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) remains the source and essence of German Expressionist cinema. Fusing carnival spectacle with the paranoia of the psychological thriller, it centres on the haunting, sexually ambivalent presence of Conrad Veidt as Cesare – the somnambulist exploited asan instrument by the sinister Dr. Caligari.David Robinson challenges long accepted versions of the history and reception of Caligari and redefines its relationship to the larger phenomenon of Expressionist art. His reassessment of the relative contributions of director, designers and writers becomes a fascinating detective story, as he investigates the status and significance of the single surviving copy of the original script, which came to light only in the late 1980s when almost all those involved in the production were dead.This second edition features a new introduction that considers the place of German Expressionist cinema within the European revival of Gothic at the turn of the twentieth century, and original cover artwork by Ben Goodman.

Abstract

Que devient le regard quand la lumière s'absente ? Que voit-on dans l'ombre ? Que voit-on de l'ombre ? Dans quelle mesure l'ombre affecte-t-elle la visibilité du monde et son intelligibilité ? Puisant aux sources de la philosophie, de la mystique, de l'histoire de l'art, de la littérature et du cinéma, Max Milner explore les rapports complexes du clair et de l'obscur. De Platon à Diderot, du Caravage à Goya, de Virgile à Blanchot... autant d'arrêts sur image propices à une réflexion sur la fascination qu'exerce l'ombre, autant d'incitations à faire contrepoids à la" surexposition " d'un monde où règne, souvent aux dépens de la vérité et de la profondeur, une tyrannie du visible. Rendre à l'image sa part d'ombre, scruter les voies qui conduisent de l'obscur à l'illimité et au transcendant, explorer les envers d'une réalité dont la face lumineuse ne contient pas tous les secrets, tel a été le but des penseurs et des artistes dont il est question dans ce livre.

Abstract

Film, a latecomer to the realm of artistic media, alludes to, absorbs, and undermines the discourses of the other arts--literature and painting especially--in order to carve out a position for itself among them. Exposing the anxiety in film's relation to its rival arts, Brigitte Peucker analyzes central issues involved in generic boundary crossing as they pertain to film and situates them in a theoretical framework. The figure of the human body takes center stage in Peucker's innovative study, for it is through this figure that the conjunction of literary and painterly discourses persistently articulates itself. It is through the human body, too, that film's consciousness of itself as a hybrid text and as a "machine for simulation" makes itself deeply felt.In films ranging from Weimar cinema through Griffith, Hitchcock, and Greenaway, Peucker probes issues in aesthetics problematized by Diderot and Kleist, among others. She argues that the introduction of movement into visual representation occasioned by film brings with it an underlying tension suggestive of castration and death. Peucker goes on to demonstrate how the encounter between narrative and image is both gendered and sexualized, rendering film a "monstrous" hybrid. In a final section, she explores in specific cinematic texts the permeable boundary between the real and representation, suggesting how effects such as tableau vivant and trompe l'oeil figure sexuality and death.Originally published in 1995.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Sur les ruines de la Première Guerre mondiale surgit en Allemagne un cinéma d'apocalypse, fiévreux et révolté, nourri de théâtre, de peinture et de littérature expressionnistes. Décors convulsifs aux perspectives distordues, intense dramaturgie des ombres et des lumières, personnages inquiétants et romantiques, jeu halluciné des acteurs, la vision expressionniste exprime les angoisses d'un monde qui se sent basculer dans l'horreur. A l'occasion de son 70e anniversaire, la Cinémathèque française présente une exposition inédite sur cette révolution esthétique. Grâce à Lotte H. Eisner et Henri Langlois, la Cinémathèque française possède l'une des plus belles collections de dessins et maquettes signés par des décorateurs de génie œuvrant aux côtés de Robert Wiene, Paul Leni, F. W. Murnau et Fritz Lang. Une iconographie exceptionnelle qu'accompagnent des textes de Lotte H. Eisner, Bernard Eisenschitz, Thomas Elsaesser, Marianne de Fleury, Laurent Mannoni, David Robinson, et un entretien avec Werner Herzog.
