Description

Challenge traditional views on classical cinema with Spectacle in Classical Cinemas: Musicality and Historicity in the 1930s. While many scholars define classical style by the absence of spectacle, this Routledge publication offers a new way to understand the role of the spectacular in sound cinema. By focusing on the 1930s, this work examines how spectacle functions within two distinct modes of filmmaking: musicals and historical films. The study provides a comparative look at two major national cinemas, specifically the US and France. This approach reveals the rhetorical and affective power of spectacle in a way that previous accounts of cinematic classicism have overlooked. This book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in film studies looking to expand their understanding of how visual and auditory elements work together in early sound cinema. It provides a fresh academic perspective on how the 1930s shaped the history of film through its unique use of musical and historical storytelling.
