The Serpent's Eye - Shaw and the Cinema

Descripción

Shaw insisted that a movie should be a filmed play; for him it was the dialogue that mattered, not elaborate techniques of the cameraman. This book subjects Shaw's cinema theory and practice to close study for the first time, disclosing the often disastrous effect of his staunchly held theories on actual film production. Professor Costello discusses the development of Shaw's theories and shows how they were put into practice. Tracing the hectic journey of these five plays from stage to screen, he tells us much about the distinction between playwriting and script-writing and why facility in one is no guarantee of skill in the other. Some wear and tiny tears in the jacket, about a quarter square inch of it is missing. N° de ref. del artículo 000689
