Brechtian Cinemas Book PDF Summary
Explores the influence of Bertolt Brechts ideas on the practice and study of cinema. In Brechtian Cinemas, Nenad Jovanovic uses examples from select major filmmakers to delineate the variety of ways in which Bertolt Brechts concept of epic/dialectic theatre has been adopted and deployed in international cinema. Jovanovic critically engages Brechts ideas and their most influential interpretations in film studies, from apparatus theory in the 1970s to the presently dominant cognitivist approach. He then examines a broad body of films, including Brechts own Mysteries of a Hairdressing Salon (1923) and Kuhle Wampe (1932), Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillets History Lessons (1972), Peter Watkinss La Commune (2000), and Lars von Triers Nymphomaniac (2013). Jovanovic argues that the role of montagea principal source of artistic estrangement (Verfremdung) in earlier Brechtian filmshas diminished as a result of the techniques conventionalization by todays Hollywood and related industries. Operating as primary agents of Verfremdung in contemporary films inspired by Brechts view of the world and the arts, Jovanovic claims, are conventions borrowed from the main medium of his expression, theatre. Drawing upon a vast number of sources and disciplines that include cultural, film, literature, and theatre studies, Brechtian Cinemas demonstrates a continued and broad relevance of Brecht for the practice and understanding of cinema. This book opens up one of the most vaguely and often ill employed terms within film theory for extremely detailed discussion, providing the most thorough analysis of Brechtianism available to film scholars. It will become a standard reference. R. Barton Palmer, coeditor of Invented Lives, Imagined Communities: The Biopic and American National Identity
