Abstract

« Il faut en permanence mettre en marche quelque chose de nouveau » déclarait Roberto Rossellini à l'occasion d'un colloque organisé en marge de sa présidence du Festival de Cannes 1977, quelques semaines avant sa mort. Le présent recueil, en associant esthétique et fabrique, plutôt que de penser les films de Rossellini au miroir de la seule société italienne ou en fonction de la prétendue césure entre cinéma et télévision, se propose de suivre ses multiples itinéraires. Les déplacements géographiques s'associent à des trajectoires historiques et temporelles complexes. Ce livre envisage aussi comment les films se font l'écho des sculptures, des textes poétiques, des créations théâtrales, des textes philosophiques que le cinéaste croise sur son parcours. L'autre piste, et cet enjeu est considérable, concerne l'empreinte des idées cinématographiques de Rossellini sur le cinéma moderne et contemporain, qui poursuit en quelque sorte les chemins tracés tout en les réinventant. Autrement dit, les films de Rossellini continuent leur fabrique…

Abstract

"Neorealism emerged as a cultural exchange and a field of discourse that served to shift the confines of creativity and revise the terms of artistic expression not only in Italy but worldwide. If neorealism was thus a global phenomenon, it is because of its revolutionary portrayal of a transformative moment in the local, regional, and national histories of Italy. At once guiding and guided by that transformative moment, neorealist texts took up, reflected, and performed the contentious conditions of their creation, not just at the level of narrative content but also in their form, language, and structure. Italian Neorealism: A Cultural History demonstrates how they did so through a series of representative case studies. Recounting the history of a generation of artists, this study offers fundamental insights into one of the most innovative and influential cultural moments of the twentieth century."--

Abstract

André Bazin's What Is Cinema? (volumes I and II) have been classics of film studies for as long as they've been available and are considered the gold standard in the field of film criticism. Although Bazin made no films, his name has been one of the most important in French cinema since World War II. He was co-founder of the influential Cahiers du Cinéma, which under his leadership became one of the world's most distinguished publications. Championing the films of Jean Renoir (who contributed a short foreword to Volume I), Orson Welles, and Roberto Rossellini, he became the protégé of François Truffaut, who honors him touchingly in his foreword to Volume II. This new edition includes graceful forewords to each volume by Bazin scholar and biographer Dudley Andrew, who reconsiders Bazin and his place in contemporary film study. The essays themselves are erudite but always accessible, intellectual, and stimulating. As Renoir puts it, the essays of Bazin "will survive even if the cinema does not."
