Analyzing the structural importance of death in narrative endings, as well as the thematics of loss and redemption, Russell identifies mortality as a valuable critical tool for understanding the cinema of the second half of the twentieth century. Her work includes close textual readings of films by Fritz Lang, Wim Wenders, Oshima Nagisa, Jean-Luc Godard, and Robert Altman, among others.Death in motion picturesNew wave filmsDeath in motion pictures.New wave films.791.43/654Russell Catherine1959-1498233MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784368703321Narrative mortality3723733UNINA
