More about the book

Focusing on the 1930s, this book explores the role of spectacle in classical sound cinema, particularly in musical and historical films from the US and France. It highlights the unique rhetorical and emotional impact of spectacular imagery, while also refining the understanding of classical cinema's characteristics. By examining these two national cinemas and modes of filmmaking, the text offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between visual spectacle and cinematic narrative.
