Description

Explore the art of the widescreen image with Playful Frames: Styles of Widescreen Cinema. Published by Rutgers University Press, this book examines how filmmakers use expansive screen technology to redirect audience expectations and create inventive visual narratives.

This study focuses on the poetics of auteur-driven widescreen imagery through detailed analysis of four distinct filmmakers: Jean Negulesco, Blake Edwards, Robert Altman, and John Carpenter. Readers will gain insight into how these directors inhabited the unique spaces of widescreen moviemaking during the final decades of the 20th century. It is an essential resource for those studying film history, criticism, and the techniques of the moving image.
