Drawing on substantial archival material, this is the first book to examine comprehensively the full extent of Beckett's engagement with cinema and its influence on his work for stage and screen. Examining his writing on second wave modernist cinema, including the work of directors such as Eisenstein, Godard, Griffith and Bresson as well as performers such as Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Greta Garbo, the book reveals film art to be central to Beckett's modernist aesthetic. In this way, Beckett is revealed to be part of a wider modernist theatrical tradition that stood as an inheritor of early 20th century cinema, alongside Meyerhold, Brecht and Artaud. 410 0$aHistoricizing modernism. 606 $aMotion pictures and literature 606 $aFilm criticism 606 $aFilms, cinema$2bicssc 615 0$aMotion pictures and literature. 615 0$aFilm criticism. 615 7$aFilms, cinema 676 $a828/.914 700 $aParaskeva$b Anthony$01207732 801 0$bYDXCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155203703321 996 $aSamuel Beckett and cinema$92786297 997 $aUNINA
