Oscar-winning director David Lean was responsible for some of the most enduring images in British cinema, including the romantic clinches between Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson in Brief Encounter and Pips memorable dash across the marshes in Great expectations. Lean became renowned for his visual epics, painting the cinematic screen in such films as The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Yet, despite the large canvas of these masterpieces, Lean never lost sight of the human story within them. In his study of Leans career, Howard Maxford takes behind-the-scenes look at each of the directors films, chronicling their making and their subsequent reception by both audiences and critics. Leans early work as a film editor, which led to his comission by Noel Coward to co-direct the landmark war drama In Which We Serve, is examined, along with Leans self-imposed 14-year exile after a savage reception from critics to his penultimate film. His exile ended thriumphantly with the release of a Passage to India. Lean, the man away from the camera, is also revealed, including his six marriages and his strict Quaker upbringing. An informative critical guide, this David Lean companion offers a detailed examination of the work of one of cinemas true greats.

John Lydon has secured prime position as one of the most recognizable icons in the annals of music history. As Johnny Rotten, he was the lead singer of the Sex Pistols - the worlds most notorious band, who shot to fame in the mid-1970s with singles such as Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen. So revolutionary was his influence, he was even discussed in the Houses of Parliament, under the Traitors and Treasons Act, which still carries the death penalty. Via his music and invective he spearheaded a generation of young people across the world who were clamouring for change - and found it in the style and attitude of this most unlikely figurehead.With his next band, Public Image Ltd (PiL) Lydon expressed an equally urgent impulse in his make-up - the constant need to reinvent himself, to keep moving. From their beginnings in 1978 he set the groundbreaking template for a band that continues to challenge and thrive in the 2010s. He also found time for making innovative new dance records with the likes of Afrika Baambaata and Leftfield. Following the release of a solo record in 1997, John took a sabbatical from his music career into other media, most memorably his own Rotten TV show for VH1 and as the most outrageous contestant ever on Im a Celebrity. Get Me Out of Here!He then fronted the Megabugsseries and one-off nature documentaries and even turned his hand to a series of much loved TV advertisements for Country Life butter.Lydon has remained a compelling and dynamic figure - both as a musician, and, thanks to his outspoken, controversial, yet always heartfelt and honest statements, as a cultural commentator.The book a fresh and mature look back on a life full of incident from his beginnings as a sickly child of immigrant Irish parents who grew up in post-war London, to his present status as a vibrant, alternative national hero.

Il giovane italiano di Gli uomini, che mascalzoni... (1932), il simpatico maresciallo della serie dei Pane, amore (1953-1958), leroe per caso del Generale Della Rovere (1959) o il conte decaduto di Dracula cerca sangue di vergine... e mori di sete!!! (1974): sono solo alcuni dei moltissimi personaggi interpretati da Vittorio De Sica nella sua lunga e fortunata carriera dattore. Ricostruire le fasi di questa carriera significa attraversare cinquantanni di storia del cinema italiano, seguirne i mutamenti interni piu significativi, leggendoli in parallelo con levoluzione di uno stile di recitazione che si e mosso tra la tradizione teatrale italiana e linnovazione delle teorie novecentesche dellattore, tra lo spettacolo di rivista e quello cinematografico, tra la recitazione e limpegno nella regia. Significa anche, pero, fare un viaggio nella storia culturale italiana, e ripensare alla rappresentazione di un carattere nazionale con il quale e difficile, ancora oggi, fare i conti.

This edition of Herzog on Herzog presents a completely new set of interviews in which Werner Herzog discusses his career from its very beginnings to his most recent productions. Herzog was once hailed by Francois Truffaut as the most important director alive.

A partire dalla sua comparsa sul mercato alla fine degli anni Novanta, ledizione in DVD ha giocato un ruolo di primo piano nei processi di trasformazione e ridefinizione delloggetto-cinema e delle pratiche di fruizione del film. Attraverso la proposta di extra o contenuti speciali, ledizione in DVD modifica lesperienza del film, da una parte appropriandosi delle qualita dellesperienza della visione in sala, e dallaltra facendo uso delle forme di personalizzazione caratteristiche dei media digitali. Questa logica dellambivalenza costituisce il filo rosso che si dipana lungo il percorso offerto dai saggi qui raccolti (anche di studiosi internazionali, protagonisti delle ricerche in questo particolare ambito) e rende il DVD un punto di osservazione privilegiato per indagare i cambiamenti del cinema nello scenario mediatico contemporaneo.
