Series Statement:
Cinema and modernity
Content:
"Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni claimed, three decades ago, that different conceptions of time helped define the split in film between European humanism and American science fiction. And as Garrett Stewart argues here, this transatlantic division has persisted since cinema's 1995 centenary, made more complex by the digital technology that has detached movies from their dependence on the sequential frames of the celluloid strip. Brilliantly interpreting dozens of recent films - from Being John Malkovich, Donnie Darko, and The Sixth Sense to La mala educación and Cache - Stewart investigates how their treatments of time reflect the change in media from film's original rolling reel to today's digital pixel." -- Publisher's description.
