Description

Spectacle in Classical Cinemas challenges conventional film scholarship by examining the prominent role of spectacle in 1930s sound cinema. This Routledge academic text explores musical and historical films across American and French cinemas, revealing how spectacle functioned as a defining feature rather than an absence in classical filmmaking. The study brings fresh critical perspective to film history by analysing a specific decade and two national cinematic traditions, uncovering the rhetorical and affective dimensions of spectacular cinema that earlier influential accounts overlooked. Ideal for film scholars, students, and historians studying classical cinema conventions, this work contributes to ongoing debates about how we define and understand cinematic classicism. The book reframes spectacle as integral to rather than separate from the classical Hollywood and French film traditions of the era.

Key Features

Focuses on 1930s classical sound cinema to examine spectacle's role in musical and historical films across two decades of film history.

Analyses both American and French national cinemas, providing comparative perspective on international approaches to spectacle in the classical era.

Part of Routledge Advances in Film Studies series, offering scholarly contributions to film theory and cinema history research.

Explores rhetorical and affective dimensions of spectacle overlooked by earlier influential accounts of classical cinema style.

Challenges conventional definitions of cinematic classicism that traditionally exclude or minimise the significance of spectacular elements.
