Existentialism and Contemporary Cinema: A Sartrean Perspective
Jean-pierre Boule
At the heart of this volume is the assertion that Sartrean existentialism, most prominent in the 1940s, particularly in France, is still relevant as a way of interpreting the world today. Film, by reflecting philosophical concerns in the actions and choices of characters, continues and extends a tradition in which art exemplifies the understanding.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; 8; At the heart of this volume is the assertion that Sartean existentialism, most prominent in the 1940s, particularly in France, is still relevant as a way of interpreting the world today. Film, by reflecting philosophical concerns in the actions and choices of characters, continues and extends a tradition in which art exemplifies the understanding of existentialist philosophy. In scholarly yet accessible style, the contributors exploit the rich interplay between Sartean's philosophy, plays and novels, and a number of contemporary films including 'No Country for Old Men', 'Lost in Translation' and 'The Truman Show', with film-makers including the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke, and Mike Leigh..
