Realist Cinema as World Cinema: Non-Cinema, Intermedial Passages, Total Cinema

By Lúcia Nagib

- This book does not fear to call realism by the name, reviving in innovative and productive ways the question of cinematic realism and giving it the prominence it deserves in film studies. - The book proposes to locate cinematic realism in the way films are made, not in their illusionistic plots, modes of exhibition or reception. It argues that in what is normally referred to as world cinema crews and casts are moved by an ethics of the real that determines the way they relate to the historical and geographical world. - The book analyses and sheds a new light on key films in recent and contemporary world cinema, here understood as realist cinema.
