{"product_id":"metafilm-music-in-jean-luc-godards-cinema-1","title":"Metafilm Music in Jean-Luc Godard's Cinema","description":"Hailed as a leading innovator of visual montage, unique storytelling style, and ground-breaking cinematography, Jean-Luc Godard is a prominent pioneer in sculpting complex soundtracks altering the familiar relationship between sound and image, but his achievements in sound have been largely overlooked. Such a lacuna in the extensive research on Godard's work is unfortunate, as Godard's lifelong preoccupation of exploring self-reflexively all aspects of filmmaking particularly affects film music. With the novel approach of metafilm music, extrapolated from Jean-Luc Godard's oeuvre, this book not only closes up a crucial gap in Godard research, but also offers detailed analyses of the music as metafilm music in Contempt, Alphaville, Band of Outsiders, Pierrot le fou, First Name: Carmen, Histoire(s) du cinéma, among other films and video productions. The innovative scholarly concept of metafilm music, enriching the burgeoning field of music in audio-visual media, describes how Godard thinks about film music with film music. This book thus provides a thorough examination of Godard's self-reflexive approach to film music which has resulted in a lifelong creation of multi-layered soundtracks pushing the envelope of film music and sound to the limit.","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248005304664,"sku":"9780190497163","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780190497163_43fbabcf-75b3-4985-a075-724ee7513eb2.jpg?v=1777810551","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/metafilm-music-in-jean-luc-godards-cinema-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
