It shows how heritage films construct space through music, generating what Powrie calls “third space music,” while also working to contain the strong women characters found in French heritage films through the use of leitmotifs and musical cues. He analyses fiction films in which the protagonists perform at the piano, showing how musical performance supports the performance of gender. Building on aspects of musical performance, and in particular the use of songs performed in films, Powrie uses a database of 300 films since 2010 to theorize the intervention of music at critical moments as a “crystal-song”. Applying Roland Barthes’s concept of the “punctum” and Gille Deleuze’s concept of the “crystal-image,” Powrie establishes the importance of the crystal-song, which reconfigures time as a crystallization of past, present and future.Motion pictures—European influencesMusicMotion picture actingMotion picturesCultureGenderEuropean Cinema and TVhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413060Musichttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/417000Screen Performancehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413130Audio-Visual Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413190Culture and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210Motion pictures—European influences.Music.Motion picture acting.Motion pictures.Culture.Gender.European Cinema and TV.Music.Screen Performance.Audio-Visual Culture.Culture and Gender.781.542Powrie Philauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut679037BOOK9910255061603321Music in Contemporary French Cinema1967551UNINA
