Paperback. Condition: New. One of the most gifted directors of the post New Wave, Maurice Pialat is frequently compared to such legendary filmmakers as Jean Renoir and Robert Bresson. A quintessentially realist filmmaker, who, like Bresson, was also trained as a painter, Pialat's particular form of realism influenced an entire generation of young filmmakers in the 1990s. This volume is the first book-length study of Pialat's cinema in English. It provides an introduction to a complex and difficult director, who saw himself as a marginal and marginalised filmmaker, but whose films are deeply rooted in French society and culture. Pialat was long considered the only major filmmaker to portray 'la France profonde', the heart of France - the people who, as he put it, 'take the subway'. Taken as a whole, Pialat's work can be seen both as an oblique autobiography and the portrait of a fundamental institution - the family - over several generations.

Condition: very good. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University, 1996. Orig. cloth binding. Dustjacket. xviii. 193 pp. Index. - Henry Miller called his friend Brassai "the eye of Paris." This strikingly innovative photographer revealed the City of Light as had no other artist before him, and his work continues to influence the art and practice of photography. In this authoritative, penetrating, and comprehensive study of Brassai's complete oeuvre, illustrated with reproductions of many stunning photographs, Marja Warehime analyzes Brassai's paradoxical position between documentary realism and Surrealism in the France of the 1930s. She stresses the subjects he pursued most passionately: the shadowy Parisian night, the scrawlings of urban graffiti, the nature of creative genius as reflected in studies of France's most celebrated artists and their studios. Warehime explores Brassai's striking, atmospheric images of cafes, dance halls, brothels, and streets where workers on the night shift mingle with tourists, night-clubbers, vagabonds, street toughs, performers, and prostitutes. Focusing on his photographs, but drawing also on his literary, aesthetic, biographical, and autobiographical writings - including letters that remain untranslated from the original Hungarian - Warehime examines Brassai's relationship to the Surrealist movement and shows us how his work evokes the cultural climate of France between the world wars. The history of his career, she demonstrates, reflects not only the development of photography but also the sweep of Western cultural history; his work bridges nineteenth-century romantic realism and modernism, anticipating the chief values of media culture: immediacy and emotional power.
