Book SynopsisWhy should Audrey Hepburn matter today? This lively and engaging book revises the contemporary view of Hepburn that sees her primarily as a fashion icon and style guru, frozen in images from Breakfast at Tiffany''s and My Fair Lady. Author Steven Cohan argues that her films, more than her biography or her likeness in stock images and magazine photos, are essential to understanding both her importance as one of the all-time major stars to emerge in Hollywood after World War II and her lasting fame in the 21st century. On Audrey Hepburn examines the key elements--her expressive face, her distinctive voice, her unorthodox body-that contributed to her persona and led to her charismatic presence onscreen. While pointing to the many contradictions inhering in her star image, Cohan emphasizes the liminality Hepburn represented, demonstrating how her characters'' mischief, intelligence, and desiring supplied the primary motor for the Cinderella plots, resisted the films'' patriarchal template and closures, and complicated her asymmetrical casting opposite older male stars. Similarly, Hepburn''s close relation with designer Hubert de Givenchy, which established her identification with haute couture, enhanced her movement onscreen, offering a pathway through spectacle for viewer identification with her energy and agency. With Hepburn in Givenchy on screen, Cohan argues, fashion worked as a transformative event for her characters. On Audrey Hepburn further looks at how, playing a woman threatened with deception and murder in thrillers, Hepburn reversed the conventional role of women in this genre through her strong female characters who confront and deal with danger on their own terms. Finally, the book examines Hepburn''s skill as actress, considering her expert timing, use of props, facial and vocal expressions, interaction with other actors in an ensemble, and the overall nuance with which she developed complex characterizations. On Audrey Hepburn is an entertaining and insightful guide to this star through her films, reminding readers why she was so immediately popular after her breakout roles in Roman Holiday and Sabrina, why she had such a crucial influence on women''s fashions, and why she received so much acclaim and award recognition as an actress in the US and abroad.

Book SynopsisOn July 4, 1939, Gehrig delivered what has been called baseball''s Gettysburg Address at Yankee Stadium. There is, for now, no known, intact film of Gehrig''s speech, but instead, just a swatch of the newsreel footage has survived, incorporating his opening and closing remarks: For the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth, the last line, of course, having become one of the most famous, invoked, and inspiring, ever, anywhere. The New York Times account, the following day, called it one of the most touching scenes ever witnessed on a ball field, that made even hard-boiled reporters swallow hard. The scene and the story would likely have been largely lost to history, altogether, were it not for the film, Pride of the Yankees, best known for Gary Cooper, as the dying Lou Gehrig, movingly describing himself as the luckiest man on the face of the earth, even as his body

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEARRobert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history.

Book SynopsisOf all European cinema, the most important is French. France annually produces more films than any other European nation, and throughout its history it has been the key competitor to Hollywood; it is Cannes that matters most after the Oscars. Moreover, the study of film as an academic discipline emerged from France during the 1950s, and was shaped by the work of French intellectuals during the 1960s and 1970s. And in the broad field of international scholarship that is Film Studies, after Hollywood, there are more scholars working in French cinema than any other national cinema.As serious research on French cinema continues to flourish, this new four-volume collection from Routledge meets the need for an authoritative anthology to enable users to navigate and make sense of the subjectâs large body of scholarship, and the continuing explosion in research output. Edited by Phil Powrie, Chief General Editor of the only academic journal specifically devoted to French cinema, and chair of the Association for Studies in French Cinema, this new Routledge title is a âmini libraryâ of foundational and the very best cutting-edge work. The gathered major works bring together the best and most influential writing on French cinema. Volume I engages with two different forms of scholarship: popular cinema (genres and stars) and influential conceptualizations of French cinema. Volume II adopts the more canonicalâhistorical approach for the period up to the New Wave, assembling the best work on the silent period, the Golden Age of the 1930s and early 1940s, and the New Wave of the early 1960s. Volumes III and IV, meanwhile, focus on the post-New Wave period from the mid-1960s onwards.The set includes an introduction to the subject, newly written by the editor, which places the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indeed, French Cinema is an essential work of reference, and is destined to be valued by scholars and advanced students as a vital research tool.

Book SynopsisChinese cinema is the only non-English language cinema to have a significant global presence. From multiplex blockbusters like Ang Leeâs Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to festival hits such as Jia Zhangkeâs Still Life, Chinese cinema succeeds like no other foreign-language cinema. The interdisciplinary field of Chinese Cinema Studies has boomed alongside these developments and, today, no Asian Studies, Chinese Studies, or Film and Media Studies programme is complete without courses that cover Chinese cinema, including the cinemas of the Peopleâs Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the wider Chinese diaspora.While research in and around Chinese cinema flourishes as never before, not least because of its highly interdisciplinary nature, much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized, so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed, balanced, and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection from Routledgeâs acclaimed series, Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies, addresses that problem and meets the need for a reference work to help make sense of the subjectâs vast and widely dispersed literature, and the continuing explosion in research output.The materials gathered by the editor, a leading scholar in the field, include major works that explore: aesthetics through key films and directors; film cultural practices, such as consumption, distribution, exhibition, reception and criticism; production practices, for instance, genres, stars, studio structures, and marketing; and cinemaâs connection to society and its relationship to issues such as the nation-state, revolution, and gender. The collectionâs temporal scope extends from the arrival of cinema via the LumiÃre Brothers in 1895 to the present day, and it ranges widely across all territories to include full coverage of the films produced by the ethnic Chinese diaspora.Chinese Cinema is supplemented by a full index and chronological tables of contents. It also includes an introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context.
