Description
This two-volume set presents detailed interpretations of singular performances by several of the most compelling actors in cinema history. What makes performance meaningful, how it reflects a director's style, and how it contributes to the development of national cinemas and cultures are explored in new ways.
The second volume focuses on international cinema, featuring case studies of key performances from a range of actors, including Ingrid Bergman, Gael Garcia Bernal, Nikolai Cherkassov, Alec Guinness, Setsuko Hara, Isabelle Huppert, Peter Lorre, Madhubala, Anna Magnani, Toshirô Mifune, and Choi Min Sik.
The essays in these books innovate new approaches to studying screen performance as an art form and cultural force. By examining the precise ways actors shape film narrative, achieve emotional effect, or move toward political subversion, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the significance of cinematic performances.
