Summary

Does the term 'post-classical' have any relevance in current debates oncontemporary cinema? This book offers a positive answer with the help of historicalpoetics and a number of contemporary popular films from across the globe.Chungking Express (1994), Trainspotting(1996), Run Lola Run (1998), Fight Club(1999), Magnolia (1999), Requiem for aDream (2000), Amelie (2001), MoulinRouge (2001), City of God (2002), andOldboy (2003) are some of the examples analysed here in depthin order to map the formal principles of post-classical cinema. With a strongfoothold in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America the post-classicalmode of narration offers contemporary filmmakers a fresh set of creative options forstaging, framing and editing their stories. With meticulous emphasis on formaldistinctions this volume differentiates the post-classical paradigm from thepowerful classical Hollywood tradition and opens up the territory for new formalframeworks and concepts.
