Poetics of Slow Cinema: Nostalgia, Absurdism, Boredom by Emre ÇağlayanEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 3319968718 | 5.19 MB
This book discusses slow cinema, a contemporary global production trend that has recently gained momentum in film theory and criticism. Slow films dispense with narrative progression in favour of a contemplative mood, which is stretched out to the extreme in order to impel viewers to confront cinematic temporality in all its undivided glory. Despite its critical reputation as an oblique mode of film practice, slow cinema continues to attract, challenge and provoke audiences.
