{"product_id":"cinema-of-franceso-rosi-the","title":"Cinema of Franceso Rosi, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Rosi is one of the great realist artists of post-war Italian, indeed  post-war  world cinema. In this book, author Gaetana Marrone explores the rich visual language in which the Neapolitan filmmaker expresses the cultural icons that constitute his style and images. Over the years, Rosi has offered us films that trace an intricate path between the real and the fictive, the factual and the imagined. His films show an extraordinarily consistent formal balance\n\u003cbr\u003ewhile representing historical events as social emblems that examine, shape, and reflect the national self. They rely on a labyrinthine narrative structure, in which the sense of an enigma replaces the\n\u003cbr\u003eunidirectional path leading ineluctably to a designated end and solution. Rosi's logical investigations are conducted by an omniscient eye and translated into a cinematic approach that embraces the details of material reality with the panoramic perspective of a dispassionate observer. This book offers intertextual analyses within such fields as history, politics, literature, and photography,  along with production information gleaned from Rosi's personal archives and interviews. It examines\n\u003cbr\u003eRosi's creative use of film as document, and as spectacle). It is also a study of the specific cinematic techniques that characterize Rosi's work and that visually, compositionally, express his vision of\n\u003cbr\u003ehistory and the elusive \"truth\" of past and present social and political realities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44084362805486,"sku":"9780190885632","price":274.12,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190885632.jpg?v=1706210656","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/cinema-of-franceso-rosi-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
