But to capture the reality of human experience, cinema must fasten on stillness and inaction as much as motion. Slow Movies investigates movies by acclaimed international directors who in the past three decades have challenged mainstream cinema's reliance on motion and action. More than other realist art cinema, slow movies by Lisandro Alonso, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Pedro Costa, Jia Zhang-ke, Abbas Kiarostami, Cristian Mungiu, Alexander Sokurov, Bela Tarr, Gus Van Sant and others radically adhere to space-times in which emotion is repressed along with motion; editing and dialogue yield to stasis and contemplation; action surrenders to emptiness if not death.Motion pictures -- PhilosophyMotion pictures -- Plots, themes, etcMotion pictures -- Production and direction -- History and criticismMotion pictures -- TechniqueMotion pictures -- Philosophy.Motion pictures -- Plots, themes, etc.Motion pictures -- Production and direction -- History and criticism.Motion pictures -- Technique.791.4301AP 50900rvkJaffe Ira1704879DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910822630903321Slow Movies4091150UNINA
