A massive coffee table book, this book covers a wide variety of films from the silent era (and some early talkies) with a lavish selection of pictures. It provides a good look at the range of films produced in America and Europe between 1895 and 1920 (despite the title, it is not limited to the 1920s). This book is worth having for any silent film fan for the pictures and the brief discussions of the featured films, even though there is insufficient space for an in-depth analysis of the films. I also point out that all the illustrations are in black-and-white, so the book misses the opportunity to showcase the use of early two-strip Technicolor in some featured 1920s films (The Black Pirate, Ben-Hur, Phantom of the Opera). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The birth of cinema: From the invention of the moving picture to the first sound movies From the first moving pictures (the Lumi?re brothers? 1895 ?L?arriv? d?un train?), early westerns, fantastic pictures, and nickelodeons all the way through the golden age of silent film in the 1920s, this book covers the first three decades of the moving picture around the world. In America, we witness the birth of Hollywood, circa 1910, where film quickly became a powerful industry and D. W. Griffith put American cinema on the map; later, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton developed a new language of visual comedy while eccentrics like Erich von Stroheim and Cecil B. DeMille turned cinema into a high art form and show biz respectively, and sex symbols like Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo heated up the screens. Meanwhile, in Europe, German directors such as Ernst Lubitsch and Fritz Lang were establishing their careers and Russian greats Eisenstein and Pudovkin were already revolutionizing a nascent art form. At the end of the 1920s the very first ?talkies, ? albeit rudimentary ones, brutally crushed the silent art, but by 1930 sound masterpieces such as Sternberg's The Blue Angel and Milestone's All Quiet on the Western Front were produced. This exploration of the founding years of cinema offers a fascinating perspective on a period in movie history that is far too often overlooked in our times. Film entries include: ? Synopsis ? Film stills and production photos ? Cast/crew listings ? Trivia ? Useful information on technical stuff ? Actor and director bios Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
