Film Chronicle

Beschreibung

It is the aim of this book to chronicle the vitality of international film art between the years 1987 and 1992. Countries represented in this collection include England, France, Sweden, the United States, Germany, India, Russia, Denmark, Italy, Spain, China, Holland, Japan, and Finland. The review/essays contained herein are acts of analysis and interpretation in the humanistic senses of those words; they are neither theoretical musings nor scholarly tracts. As such, Film Chronicle can be considered a call for the return of practical criticism as the best way to understand and appreciate the work of cinematic artists.

«A masterful exercise in film criticism. Cardullo is always aware that the cinema 'means' as well as shows.» (John Mosier)
«Bert Cardullo's collection of criticism comes as an immensely welcome relief from the kinds of writing on film that have been most prominent in recent years. He is neither a cultist nor a meta-critic, but a passionate (though reasonable), widely cultured, and highly perceptive observer of films.» (Richard Gilman)
«Film criticism today needs educated analysis without blinkered doctrine, seriousness without pomposity, insight without crankiness. All these virtues Bert Cardullo brings to his book, plus a passion for films that enlightens his views of the works he examines.» (Stanley Kauffmann)
«One should pay attention to Mr. Cardullo's writings, not only because he brings such energy and enthusiasm to each review, but also because he employs a daring, inventive critical technique. Indeed, his audacity 'and' his accuracy as a critic truly amaze.» (Mark Sidone)
