Comparative Cinema

More about the book

Focusing on endings and 'late style,' this exploration of comparative cinema argues that such criticism represents an endgame, emerging as societies shift from a single tradition. It analyzes a range of works across literature and film, delving into the connections between language, images, and text. Key figures include Theo Angelopoulos, Ingmar Bergman, and Krzysztof Kieslowski, with recurring motifs of dusk, horizons, labyrinths, and ruins that enrich the analysis.
