Monumental monografi over Herzogs oeuvre og poetik, rigt illustreret med over 100 farvefotos Instruktøren Werner Herzogs visuelle vovemod har dannet præcedens og han er blevet kultfigur og forbillede for en helt ny generation af filmskabere, internationalt såvel som i Danmark. Bredest kendt blev han for sine film med den gale Klaus Kinski, men er i dag dokumentargenrens store navn, der forbinder de europæiske nybølger med succesfuld amerikansk mainstream. Bogen fører læseren ind i et værk der bl.a. beskriver gangsterpræster, bjørnehviskere, skospisning, revolutionære filmkunstnere … og en enkelt pingvin. Samt ikke mindst vigtige perspektiver på en tid med fake news. Skrevet af Kristoffer Hegnsvad, dokumentarist, samt Film&TV-redaktør og kritiker ved Dagbladet Politiken. Han har læst på Københavns Universitet og Sorbonne og har instrueret filmene Laamb og Looking for Exits – Conversations with a Wingsuit Artist. I 2016 deltog han på Werner Herzogs provisoriske filmskole for instruktørtalenter, The Rogue Film School.
Lars von Triers film- og tv-produktioner har siden hans biografdebut med The Element of Crime i 1984 udløst stærke reaktioner hos publikum, og desuden har han vakt opsigt i hele filmverdenen med Dogme 95-manifestet. I dag regner mange Trier blandt de største nulevende filminstruktører, og med hver ny film forventes han at sætte nye standarder for, hvad filmmediet kan. I denne bog undersøges Lars von Triers affektskabende og etisk involverende stil med udgangspunkt i hans værker over en 30-årig periode, helt op til hans seneste film, Nymphomaniac. Centralt i Bodil Marie Stavning Thomsens læsninger står væsentlige analytiske begreber som det haptiske, det affektive, det diagrammatiske og det signaletiske materiale, der med Gilles Deleuze anvendes til at betegne det, der i filmene undslipper en repræsentationel analyse. Lars von Triers fornyelse af filmen 1984-2014 giver en omfattende læsning af Lars von Triers værker i lyset af Deleuzes (film)filosofi og udfolder en ny affektdiagrammatisk filmteori. Løbende inddrages Gilles Deleuzes og Félix Guattaris filosofiske arbejder, samt bl.a. Brian Massumis fortolkning af Baruch de Spinozas affektbegreb og C.S. Peirces diagrammatiske tegn. Bogen giver således en nytænkende analyse og diskussion af samtlige hovedværker af en af vor tids mest anerkendte filminstruktører. Bodil Marie Stavning Thomsen, ph.d., professor mso ved Nordiske studier, Institut for Kommunikation og Kultur, Aarhus Universitet.

"Dansk stumfilm" er en smuk coffee-table bog, som tager læseren med tilbage til dansk stumfilms storhedstid i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede. Dengang idérige iværksættere så muligheder i et nyt medie og skabte internationale succeser fra en kolonihavegrund i Valby. Hvor skuespillere som Asta Nielsen og Valdemar Psilander gjorde kometkarriere og blev verdenskendte superstjerner over night.

"Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herbert's beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early '80s Universal Pictures was prepared to give Lynch the keys to the kingdom - and the highest budget in the studio's history at the time - so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. As the hot young filmmaker commanded a cast with 42 major speaking parts as well as a crew of 1,700 (plus over 20,000 extras) on 80 sets built on 8 sound stages in Mexico, what happened next became as wild, complex, and full of intrigue as Herbert's novel itself. Film writer Max Evry goes behind the erratic ride of David Lynch's Dune like never before, with a years-in-the-making oral history culled from a lineup of new interviews with the film's stars (Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young, Virginia Madsen, etc.), creatives, film executives, and insiders - not to mention Lynch himself. David Lynch's Dune initially left many filmgoers and reviewers scratching their heads, most dismissing the film upon its initial release. However, four decades and a big-budget remake later, Lynch's Dune is finally poised to find its rightful place alongside the director's other masterpieces such as Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive. Max Evry's A Masterpiece in Disarray takes you back to 1984 with the deepest dive yet into the cult classic that is David Lynch's Dune"-- Provided by publisher.

Neil Gaiman's complete original scripts for the highly anticipated six-episode original series, adapted from the classic novel he wrote with Terry PratchettFirst published nearly thirty years ago, the novel Good Omens has sold more than five million copies worldwide and is beloved by Gaiman and Pratchett fans alike.

Often hailed as the 'best' James Bond film, From Russia With Love (1963) is celebrated for its direction by Terence Young, memorable performances from Sean Connery in his second outing as 007, Pedro Armendáriz as Kerim, Lotte Lenya as the lesbian villain Colonel Rosa Klebb, and Robert Shaw as Red Grant, the sexually ambiguous SPECTRE assassin. And regardless of its place within the longest-running continuous film series in cinema history, it is also an outstanding example of the British spy thriller in its own right.Llewella Chapman's study of the iconic film pinpoints its place within the James Bond film franchise, and its significant cultural value to critics and fans as well as this film's important place within British cinema history more widely. Drawing on a broad range of archival sources, Chapman traces the film's development and production history, including its adaptation from Ian Fleming's source novel, as well as its reception and lasting impact. Chapman also considers the film's portrayal of gender politics, with its queer villains counterpoised with the heterosexual couple Bond and his Russian counterpart Tatiana Romanova, the context of Cold War politics, and the influence of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959).
THE PUBLISHING SENSATION OF THE YEAR FOR EVERY FILM FAN The never-before-published edition of Francis Ford Coppola’s notes and annotations on The Godfather novel by Mario Puzo reveals the story behind one of the world’s most iconic films.

The Godfather Notebook pulls back the curtain on the legendary filmmaker and the film that launched his illustrious career. Complete with an introduction by Francis Ford Coppola and exclusive photographs from on and off the set, this is a unique, beautiful, and faithful reproduction of Coppola’s original notebook. This publication will change the way the world views the iconic film—and the process of filmmaking at large. A must-have book of the season. Nothing like it has ever been published before.
The full scripts of award-winning Downton Abbey, season one including previously unseen materialDownton Abbey has become an international phenomenon and the most successful British drama of our time. Created by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes, the first season delighted viewers and critics alike with stellar performances, ravishing costumes, and a gripping plot. Set in a grand country house during the late Edwardian era, season one of Downton Abbey follows the lives of the Crawley family upstairs and their servants downstairs as they approach the announcement of the First World War. Fellowes succeeds in not only entertaining his audience with a combination of sustained storylines and sharp one-liners but also in delivering a social commentary of British life. The scripts from season one give readers the opportunity to read the work in more detail and to study the characters, pace, and themes in depth. With extended commentary from Fellowes, highlighting key historical or dramatic details, this book gives invaluable insight, particularly for would-be screenwriters, into how Fellowes researched and crafted the world of Downton Abbey.Featuring full-color photographs
Hvorfor bliver vi tiltrukket og fascineret af uhyggelige hændelser i fiktiv form? Hvad er det, der gør, at vi ligefrem nyder at læse en roman eller se en film om en patologisk voldsforbryder, som vi under ingen omstændigheder ville have lyst til at møde i virkeligheden? Hvordan går det til, at personer, der ellers virker sunde og fornuftige, nyder det kolde gys, når vampyren blotter tænderne, og når psykopaten hæver øksen eller retter geværet mod et uskyldigt offers hoved? Og er offeret nu også altid helt uskyldigt?I bogen ”I lyst og død” dykker Rikke Schubart ned i gysets anatomi og gyserens historie. Bogen udkom første gang i 1993.Rikke Schubart (f. 1966) er lektor ved Institut for Design, Medier og Uddannelsesvidenskaber på RUC og har udgivet en lang række artikler og bøger om film, køn, kultur og medier.
De fleste kender til Amerikas "Vilde Vesten" gennem det sidste århundredes filmiske genfortællinger om livet blandt cowboys og indianere (på godt og ondt). Gennem tiden er der selvfølgelig også lavet videnskabelig analyser om både historiske og filmhistoriske aspekter af "Det Vilde Vesten". De fleste bøger, dokumentarfilm, blogs og internet-sider er dog for det meste på engelsk og sammenfatter ofte ikke det underholdende med de filmhistoriske og historiske aspekter. Som western-entusiast og historie-interesseret er denne bog et personligt bud på sammenhængen mellem underholdning, fiktion og fakta - på dansk.Som underholdning blev westerns en succes lige fra starten af filmens historie. For film, som for alle andre kunstarter gælder dog, at historierne er subjektive og ofte manipulerende i deres udtryk og fortælling.Vi har alle en opfattelse af hvad vi forstår ved "Det Vilde Vesten". Fortællingerne, som vi kender dem gennem litteratur og film, er i høj grad baseret på en blanding af myter og legender, krydret med historiske personer og hændelser. Med dette i baghovedet er det vigtigt at forstå at fortællingen og "Det vilde Vesten" er en grundlæggende del af amerikanernes selvforståelse og ikke mindst deres selviscenesættelse.

Seit im Jahr 1977 zum ersten Mal der magische Einleitungssatz " Es war einmal vor langer Zeit in einer weit, weit entfernten Galaxie ..." über die Kinoleinwand flimmerte, sind Generationen von Film- und Scifi-Fans L uke Skywalker, Han Solo, Prinzessin Leia, R2-D2 und C-3PO und natürlich dem beliebtesten Schurken und schlimmsten Vater des Universums, Darth Vader , auf ihren abenteuerlichen Reisen durch die endlosen Weiten des Alls gefolgt, haben - je nach der individuellen sittlich-moralischen Grunddisposition - aufseiten der Rebellen oder der Sturmtruppen gekämpft, den Millenium Falken geschrottet, mit Meister Yoda die Syntax verunstaltet und das Lichtschwert tanzen lassen. Mit seiner Sternensaga hat Georg Lucas eine Welt von mythischer Strahlkraft und das Filmfranchise der Kinogeschichte schlechthin erschaffen. Dass er sich bei der Konzeption von Star Wars durch das Buch "Der Heros in tausend Gestalten" des von ihm verehrten amerikanischen Literaturwissenschaftlers und Mythenforschers Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) und der darin beschriebenen archetypischen Grundstruktur der Heldenreise leiten ließ, ist mittlerweile feuilletonistisches Allgemeingut. Dass diese Rezeptur, angereichert mit Westernmotiven, Slapstickelementen, Popcorndialogen und etwas fernöstlicher Spiritualität und in Szene gesetzt mit einem bis dahin unbekannten Aufwand an Tricktechnik und Spezialeffekten , tatsächlich funktionierte und er ein Epos von bleibender Faszination erfunden hatte, kam selbst für Lucas damals überraschend. Dieser Band, entstanden in enger Kooperation mit George Lucas und Lucasfilm , deckt die Entstehungsgeschichte der Originaltrilogie ab - Krieg der Sterne (= Episode IV: A New Hope ), Das Imperium schlägt zurück (= Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ) und Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter (= Episode VI: Return of the Jedi ). Er enthält ein Exklusivinterview mit Lucas und ist vollgepackt mit selten gezeigten Dokumenten , mit Drehbuchseiten, Produktionsunterlagen, Konzeptentwürfen, Storyboards und natürlich einer Fülle an Fotos aus den Filmen und von den Dreharbeiten . Möge die Macht mit euch sein!
