SAMPLE
註釋
In 1896, Maxim Gorky declared cinema "the Kingdom of Shadows." In its silent, ashen-grey world, he saw a land of spectral, and ever since then cinema has had a special relationship with the haunted and the ghostly.
Cinematic Ghosts
is the first collection devoted to this subject, including fourteen new essays, dedicated to exploring the many permutations of the movies' phantoms.
Cinematic Ghosts
contains essays revisiting some classic ghost films within the genres of horror (
The Haunting
, 1963), romance (
Portrait of Jennie
, 1948), comedy (
Beetlejuice,
1988) and the art film (
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
, 2010), as well as essays dealing with a number of films from around the world, from Sweden to China.
Cinematic Ghosts
traces the archetype of the cinematic ghost from the silent era until today, offering analyses from a range of historical, aesthetic and theoretical dimensions.
