Ă propos de ce livre
Montage, dĂ©coupage, mise en scĂšne: these three French terms are central to debates around film history and aesthetics in every language, yet the precise meaning of each and especially their relationship to one another remain a source of confusion for many. In this unique volume, film scholars Laurent Le Forestier, Timothy Barnard and Frank Kessler examine in lively, readable prose the history of these concepts in film theory and criticism and their genesis and development in practice during cinema's foundational first half-century and beyondâfrom early cinema to the modern mise en scĂšne criticism of the 1950s and 60s by way of silent-era explorations of the theory and practice of montage and the early sound period's counter example of dĂ©coupage. Each essay serves as an essential guide for students and specialists alike, combining historical overview with fresh ideas about film aesthetics today.
