The Cabinet of Dr Caligari: Analysis of Film Form, Aesthetics and Context

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari was a huge international hit on release in 1920. For the post-war German film industry facing a hostile international market, this was a huge commercial achievement and led to a decade of innovation and creativity in Weimar cinema. A huge influence on both the art film and the horror genre, Caligari is a tangle of contradictions: a blockbuster that became an essential text in the history of cinema.

Under the Skin: Analysis of Film Form, Narrative and Ideology

Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому

Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin is rightly hailed as a masterpiece of British cinema. As the title implies, it is a film that plays with surface and depth and rewards many repeated viewings. This analysis applies Barbara Creed's critical framework of the monstrous feminine and is therefore a companion piece with this channel's analysis of Sightseers: ua-cam.com/video/ARoP7bpfihA/v-deo.html

Alexander Dovzhenko's 1930 film Earth (Zemlya) is the third of his Ukraine trilogy, following on from the singular Arsenal (1929).

After nine years of failed projects and artistic frustration, Sergei Eisenstein managed to complete Alexander Nevsky in 1938. While less radical in its form than the giddy rush of films Eisenstein produced in the 1920s, Nevsky's great battle sequence has influenced just about every war film ever since and the singular approach to the art of editing is still in evidence. As a snapshot of Soviet ...

A close analysis of Ozu's Tokyo Story, one of the greatest films of the twentieth century. Generally considered to be 'characteristically Japanese', the film's emotional resonance is universal. This analysis is particularly grateful to Adam Mars-Jones' excellent 2011 book, Noriko Smiling. Also, apologies for any errors in my pronunciation of Japanese words.
