Theatre Through the Camera Eye
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-0-7486-9747-2 (ISBN)
Through an in-depth analysis of films such as Jacques Rivette’s L’Amour fou, Pedro Almodóvar’s All About My Mother and Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York, this book analyses the embedment of theatre in film and the notion of spectatorial address. Using textual analysis in conjunction with concepts derived from narratology, performance philosophy, and film and theatre phenomenology, it explores the mechanisms of representation involved in the intermedial diegetisation of theatre in film.
Dr Laura Sava is Assistant Professor of Film Studies at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China. She is the author of Theatre Through the Camera Eye (2019, EUP).
