内容简介
······
A film tells its story not only through dialogue and actors' performances but also through the director's control of movement and shot design. Figures Traced in Light is a detailed consideration of how cinematic staging carries the story, expresses emotion, and beguiles the audience through pictorial composition. Ranging over the entire history of cinema, David Bordwell focuses on four filmmakers' unique contributions to the technique. In-depth chapters examine Louis Feuillade, master of the 1910s serial; Kenji Mizoguchi, the great Japanese director who worked from the 1920s to the 1950s; Theo Angelopoulos, who began his career as a political modernist in the late 1960s; and Hou Hsiao-hsien, the Taiwanese filmmaker who in the 1980s became the preeminent Asian director. For comparison, Bordwell draws on films by Howard Hawks, Michelangelo Antonioni, Yasujiro Ozu, Takeshi Kitano, and many other directors. Superbly illustrated with more than 500 frame enlargements and 16 color illustrations, Figures Traced in Light situates its close analysis of model sequences in the context of the technological, industrial, and cultural trends that shaped the directors' approaches to staging.

略”花哨”
on staging. great book.
还是那种态度。大波关注国际电影的态度非常值得尊敬。对电影的热爱非常值得肯定。但书还只是流于语言上的表达。个别定义有些牵强。个别scene的解读甚至不值得推敲。也许应用在他的截图上就很合适。一放回到电影里去就立不住脚。他更多还是限于一名历史学者吧。
在对风格的梳理中，既体现了作者基于时代的继承性，又剖析出他们那些动人的、细致的、差异化的作者性。以细微之缕的调度分析重读影像，也是在后现代的当下以现代性抽取影像的骨架之美。沟口健二的部分真是动人，尤其是对比分析重看《残菊物语》中的吃西瓜段落。
