GLOBAL AUTEURS - BRIAN MICHAEL GOSS KARTONIERT ...

Global Auteurs employs auteur theory to examine the work of three contemporary and innovative
directors: Pedro Almodóvar  Lars von Trier  and Michael Winterbottom. With extensive background
information on the global film industry  and on auteur theory and its implications for
ideological critique  this book's insightful case studies examine both ideologies the
filmmakers re-circulate and ideologies that they confront in textual form. The discussion of
Pedro Almodóvar devotes particular attention to mass mediation  the family  and gender in the
corpus of his films  while Lars von Trier's corpus is interpreted as driven by a motif that
characterizes all of his films: the «failed idealist». Michael Winterbottom's body of work
presents a genre-diverse  post-MTV style concerned with «outsiders» and taboo  representation
and truth  and human rights. Global Auteurs' sophisticated approach to decoding film is
suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses on film  global mass media  and contemporary
Europe.
