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. 606 $aDeath in motion pictures 606 $aNew wave films 615 0$aDeath in motion pictures. 615 0$aNew wave films. 676 $a791.43/654 700 $aRussell$b Catherine$f1959-$01498233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784368703321 996 $aNarrative mortality$93723733 997 $aUNINA
