Description

Explore how cinema shapes our understanding of the past with Imagining Ancient Cities in Film: From Babylon to Cinecitta. Part of the Routledge Studies in Ancient History series, this book examines how urban spaces in movies act as more than just settings. They serve as projected ideas that attempt to recreate the spirit of specific cultures, societies, and historical epochs. Many cinematic depictions of cities have moved beyond mere fiction to become part of our modern collective memory. This work looks at how iconic films influence our mental images of the ancient world. From the influence of Fritz Lang's Metropolis on futuristic visions to how the works of Griffith, Petersen, and others shape our views of Babylon, Troy, and Rome, this book provides a deep look at the connection between film imagery and historical imagination.

Key Features

Analyzes how film imagery helps recreate and capture the specific spirit of different societies and historical epochs.

Investigates how certain cinematic cities transcend fiction to become permanent parts of modern collective memory.

Explores the link between classic films and our mental images of ancient locations like Babylon, Troy, and Rome.
