Hollywood moviemaking is one of the constants of American life, but how much has it changed since the glory days of the big studios? David Bordwell argues that the principles of visual storytelling created in the studio era are alive and well, even in today's bloated blockbusters. American filmmakers have created a durable tradition--one that we should not be ashamed to call artistic, and one that survives in both mainstream entertainment and niche-marketed indie cinema. Bordwell traces the continuity of this tradition in a wide array of films made since 1960, from romantic comedies like Jerry Maguire and Love Actually to more imposing efforts like A Beautiful Mind. He also draws upon testimony from writers, directors, and editors who are acutely conscious of employing proven principles of plot and visual style. Within the limits of the "classical" approach, innovation can flourish. Bordwell examines how imaginative filmmakers have pushed the premises of the system in films such as JFK, Memento, and Magnolia. He discusses generational, technological, and economic factors leading to stability and change in Hollywood cinema and includes close analyses of selected shots and sequences. As it ranges across four decades, examining classics like American Graffiti and The Godfather as well as recent success like The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, this book provides a vivid and engaging interpretation of how Hollywood moviemakers have created a vigorous, resourceful tradition of cinematic storytelling that continues to engage audiences around the world.

Acclaimed for their breakthrough approach, Bordwell, Staiger and Thompson analyze the basic conditions of American film-making as a historical institution and consider to what extent Hollywood film production constitutes a systematic enterprise, in both its style and its business operations. Despite differences of director, genre or studio, most Hollywood films operate within a set of shared assumptions about how a film should look and sound. Such assumptions are neither natural nor inevitable; but because classical-style films have been the type most widely seen, they have come to be accepted as the 'norm' of film-making and viewing. The authors show how these classical conventions were formulated and standardized, and how they responded to the arrival of sound, colour, widescreen ratios and stereophonic sound. They argue that each new technological development has served a function within an existing narrational system. The authors also examine how the Hollywood cinema standardized the film-making process itself. They describe how, over the course of its history, Hollywood developed distinct modes of production in a constant search for maximum efficiency, predictability and novelty. Set apart by its combination of theoretical analysis and empirical evidence, this book is the standard work on the classical Hollywood cinema style of film-making from the silent era to the 1960s.

Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van Cine Zoologie.In de Eerste Wereldoorlog kwam de Antwerpse dierentuin in grote moeilijkheden.Dieren stierven door voedseltekort en bombardementen. Er kwamen steeds minder bezoekers. Het faillissement dreigde. In 1915 nam de directie een drastische beslissing. De feestzaal werd omgetoverd tot een bioscoop, met live-orkest.Cine Zoologie werd een weergaloos succes. Dankzij de nieuwe inkomsten kon de Antwerpse zoo de oorlogsjaren overleven. Ook na de oorlog floreerde de bioscoop. In 1929 werd de omslag naar de geluidsfilm gemaakt. Midden jaren dertig ging het de bioscoop steeds minder voor de wind. De concurrentie in de buurt was flink toegenomen. In 1936 hield de directie het voor bekeken.Cine Zoologie liet een uniek archief na. Met die documenten vertellen filmhistorici Leen Engelen en Roel Vande Winkel de geschiedenis van deze bijzondere bioscoop. Een wonderlijke en prachtig geïllustreerde geschiedenis.
