| Summary |
Does the term 'post-classical' have any relevance in current debates on contemporary cinema? This book offers a positive answer with the help of historical poetics 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 a Dream" (2000), "Amelie" (2001), "Moulin Rouge" (2001), "City of God" (2002), and "Oldboy" (2003) are some of the examples analysed here in depth in order to map the formal principles of post-classical cinema. With a strong foothold in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America the post-classical mode of narration offers contemporary filmmakers a fresh set of creative options for staging, framing and editing their stories |
