After a streamlined account of the various postwar renaissances in film - the shock of “Neorealism”, the “New Wave,” and “New American Cinema” - the book features detailed examinations of the work of forty-eight auteurs, including F.W. Murnau, Jean-Luc Godard, Ida Lupino, Alfred Hitchcock, Yasujirō Ozu, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodóvar, and Jane Campion. In its focus on a limited number of auteurs, this book aims to offer a map of representative figures rather than an exhaustive or comprehensive list, providing an informative entry point to the study of the auteur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssential reading for any students of film theory and film studies, particularly those taking classes on the auteur.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55674801848664,"sku":"9781032502458","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032502458.jpg?v=1779183966","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/film-auteur","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
