Following his extraordinary 24 Hour Psycho, Douglas Gordon's latest film, Feature Film, further explores Alfred Hitchcock's dramatic devices. Where 24 Hour Psycho considered the effect of Hitchcock's thriller if extended to 24 hours and devoid of sound, Feature Film examines Vertigo's intense, anxiety-inducing music if separated from its on-screen narrative. This book contains stills from Gordon's film of Paris Opera conductor James Conlon rehearsing Bernard Hermann's Vertigo score Focusing on Conlon's hands, arms, and facial expressions, the stills provide a fascinating look at the sweeping and subtle gestures that comprise his physical interpretation of Vertigo's musical accompaniment. This book also includes a CD of the music actually recorded during the filming, as well as a separate insert containing two essays with background information on the music, the composer, and Gordon's film work.

1847 fue un año muy prolífico para las hermanas Brontë, quienes firmaban sus libros como los hermanos Bell para evitar escándalos: Charlotte publicó Jane Eyre; Anne llevó a imprenta Agnes Grey, y Emily editó esta gran obra, Cumbres Borrascosas, que contiene la quinta esencia de la novela romántica inglesa decimonónica. En ella se suceden los amores apasionados, los odios agriados que se prolongan durante generaciones, los celos, las apariciones espectrales y las tormentas, todo ello narrado con una fuerza que la han convertido en un clásico imperecedero.

"Compiles artistic and analytical practices that expand thought on cinema ... thematizes archetypes and recurring patterns in film history ... with contributions from cultural history, philosophy, and film theory"--Blurb.
