        The films of Luc Besson

        Master of spectacle

        by Susan Hayward, Philip Powrie

        This fascinating collection looks at the career and films of Luc Besson, one of the most acclaimed figures in international cinema. Contributions have been assembled from all over the world, and their different approaches reflect this geographical diversity. Films covered range from Besson's first feature, La Dernier Combat, to the international blockbusters The Fifth Element and Joan of Arc. The essays range from looking at costume design to musical scores, and the final chapter offers a transcript of a previously unpublished interview with the man himself. He is the only French director to have crossed over successfully during the 1990s into the blockbuster spectacular we associate with Hollywood cinema and yet this is only the second book in English on this major international director. The films of Luc Besson will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in the career and films of the 'master of spectacle'.

        Havanna

        Ein Reisebegleiter

        by Roman Rhode

        »Die Straßen in Havanna«, schrieb der kubanische Schriftsteller Alejo Carpentier, »bieten ein fortwährendes Schauspiel: Theater, Karikatur, Drama, Komödie oder was auch immer.« So verwundert es nicht, daß gerade Künstler und Intellektuelle sich von der pulsierenden Atmosphäre der Hafenstadt inspirieren ließen. In den prächtigen Hotels der Altstadt logierten Jean-Paul Sartre, Ry Cooder und Albert Einstein. Ernest Hemingway erkor Havanna sogar zu seinem ständigen Wohnsitz. Den Soundtrack zu dem Treiben auf den Straßen liefern bis heute Rumba und Son Cubano – die mit dem Buena Vista Social Club unvergeßlich wurden. Auf den Spuren bedeutender Autoren entdeckt der Leser die verborgenen, magischen Orte der »Perle der Karibik«.

        Alain Robbe-Grillet

        by John Phillips

        Placing Robbe-Grillet's filmic oeuvre in the related contexts of both his novelistic work and the different historical and cultural periods in which his films were made, from the early 1960s to the present, the book traces lines of influence and continuity throughout his work, which is shown to exhibit a consistent preoccupation with an identifiable body of themes, motifs and structures. Close readings of all the films are skilfully combined with a thematic approach, ranging across the entire filmic corpus. The book also contains chapters on cinematography and technique. Ultimately, this lucid, comprehensive and fascinating study shows Robbe-Grillet's contribution to the evolution of the cinematic art both in France and internationally to have been considerably more important than previously acknowledged.

        Screening songs in Hispanic and Lusophone cinema

        by Edited by Lisa Shaw and Robert Stone

        In this volume, eighteen experts from a variety of academic backgrounds explore the use of songs in films from the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking worlds. This volume illustrates how - rather than simply helping to tell the story of - songs in Hispanic and Lusophone cinema commonly upset the hierarchy of the visual over the aural, thereby rendering their hearing a complex and rich subject for analysis. Screening songs... constitutes a ground-breaking, interdisciplinary collection. Of particular interest to scholars and academics in the areas of Film Studies, Hispanic Studies, Lusophone Studies and Musicology, this volume opens up the study of Hispanic and Lusophone cinema to vital, new, critical approaches. The soundtracks of films as varied as City of God, All About My Mother, Bad Education and Buena Vista Social Club are analysed alongside those of lesser-known works that range from the melodramas of Mexican cinema's golden age to Brazilian and Portuguese musical comedies from the 1940s and 1950s. Fiction films are studied alongside documentaries, the work of established directors like Pedro Almodóvar, Carlos Saura and Nelson Pereira dos Santos alongside that of emerging filmmakers, and performances by iconic stars like Caetano Veloso and Chavela Vargas alongside the songs of Spanish Gypsy groups, Mexican folk songs and contemporary Brazilian rap.

        Soundscapes

        by Cristina Cubells and Joana Casals

        Babies are born listeners, attuned to sounds in the womb and the world. Before their vision sets in, infants know their environment through sound—a parent’s lullaby, a dog barking, water in the bathtub, and if they’re lucky, the pulsing rhythms of music. The landscape of sound, a child’s soundscape, is always present. Touch, smell, and sound are children’s first teachers. For young children, all sound is fascinating, from the random siren to the frolicking fiddle. They are experiencing the world anew, it’s all amazing. This book proposes a different experience beyond reading and enjoying its wonderful illustrations. It invites children to play themselves the soundtrack of every double page, giving them the tools through a colorful and intuitive graphic score. A book as unique as it is fun.

        Soundtracks

        by Jon Acuff

        Overthinking isn’t a personality trait. It’s the sneakiest form of fear.  It steals time, creativity, and goals. It’s the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it’s an epidemic. When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, “Yes!”  The good news is that in Soundtracks, Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower.  When we don’t control our thoughts, our thoughts control us. If our days are full of broken soundtracks, thoughts are our worst enemy, holding us back from the things we really want. But the solution to overthinking isn’t to stop thinking. The solution is running our brains with better soundtracks. Once we learn how to choose our soundtracks, thoughts become our best friend, propelling us toward our goals.  If you want to tap into the surprising power of overthinking and give your dreams more time and creativity, learn how to DJ the soundtracks that define you. If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can doubt, you can dominate. If you can spin, you can soar.

        Petrolina

        by Carlos Eduardo de Magalhães

        PETROLINA - Synopsis Zeca lives a tangle of routes, trips and accidents. With a background in classical guitar, which he switched when he was a teenager to a rock band, Zeca began to dedicate himself to composing soundtracks for cinema when his eldest daughter, Carmen, was born. He goes on a trip from São Paulo to Petrolina (2.178.6 kilometers)  in his Caranga (the way he named his car)  with Carmen, now 21, with Pedro, 5, his youngest son from his second marriage, and with Mr. Oscar, his second wife's uncle's grandfather. Mr. Oscar is a retired classical guitar teacher who has made a career at an American conservatory and wants to go to Petrolina to find Sebastião who, 50 years earlier, in the same Petrolina, in that dry hinterland northeastern, he heard playing in an audition and was impressed. Instead of accepting the huge talent of the boy, he dismissed it. Sebastião, then, became Tião Cruz do Acordem, a famous accordion player. The journey is made of many searches, of many stories. In a world dominated by technological impersonality and an affective coexistence restricted to satiation and self-saturation, Zeca's accidental trip to Petrolina, with his sun and daughter,  triggers many questions and discovers. ? In this road novel, changes in the world, and in relationships, come through music. Especially music played on guitars.

        The Key Secrets

        by Lamberto del Álamo

        Music in the Movies. The Key Secrets Whichever romantic scene seems to be incomplete without a tender violin tune. A menacing presence of Indianscannot be labeled as hazardous with no fast bass drumming. The brass section might sound like a heroic sentiment and a sax perhaps brings to mind lusciousness. It is not easy to recreate a set based on music. Only the skilled ones can direct images to a magical point in which making the spectators laugh, cry or even tremble in their seats is what music is brought for. This meticulous and enjoyable proposal clears the way to readers who would be pleased to value soundtracks much more phrasing their thoughts wisely.

        A Rockin’ and Rollin’ Memoir

        by Steven Jae Johnson

        “An epic story of show-biz dreams.”—Mike Foley “It’s this generation’s American Graffiti — it’s Happy Days slammed into Resurrection Boulevard.”—Rick Marcelli “Johnson’s memory for the adventures we shared breaking into show business is seamless.”—Edward James Olmos “Like a front-row seat to the action when rock ‘n’ roll was still young and exciting!”—Jason Liller Kids, This Is Rock ‘N’ Roll: A Rockin’ and Rollin’ Memoir Made on the 1960s Sunset Strip in Hollywood Here is a story that is glamorous, inspiring, and gritty — a marvelous fusion of the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life and music and passion in 1960s Hollywood, California, the place where dreams are made and chased and, sometimes, die. When Steven “Rusty” Johnson, Eddie Olmos, and Joey Zagarino met in high school in 1962, the sky was the limit and rock ‘n’ roll stardom was a record deal away. These three friends forged a life-long friendship that would take them through triumph and tragedy, victory and defeat, success and failure — all in the pursuit of reaching the rock ‘n’ roll dream. This is not only the story of three dreamers, it is a true tale that shows that success — and life — is about taking it from the top, catching a good groove, and taking it one beat at a time. SOUNDTRACK INCLUDED WITH BOOK AND EBOOK! Walk, Don’t Run: A Rockin’ and Rollin’ Memoir is about passion and dreams — and music. That’s why this incredible book comes complete with an incredible soundtrack!

        Stumps & Runs & Rock 'n' Roll

        Sixty Years Beyond a Boundary

        by Tim Quelch

        Stumps & Runs & Rock 'n' Roll is Tim Quelch's sixty-year account of growing up and growing older with cricket, spanning the period between Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1952 and the present day. Scandals and trends, unforgettable events and heroes come and go in English cricket just as in Quelch's vivid backdrop of cultural change, while the fortunes of the Test side oscillate as wildly as his ever-shifting soundtrack of popular music. The book features telling vignettes of famous and not-so-famous cricketers seen in action by the author throughout his life - including Freddie Trueman, Wes Hall, Brian Statham, Graeme Pollock, John Snow, Peter Burge and Jeff Thomson - whose lasting impressions merge with those of triumph and adversity, pop and politics. This is a life not so much measured by coffee spoons as by cricket scores, with many of its abiding memories impaled upon a particular melody or riff.

        Die Geschichte hinter Depeche Modes Albumklassiker Violator

        by Kevin May und David McElroy

        Im März 1990 veröffentlichten Depeche Mode das Album, das seitdem als ihr Meisterstück gilt: Violator war das siebte Album der Electro-Rocker, die in den Achtzigern erst Kultstatus genossen hatten und dann zu Weltruhm aufstiegen, ausverkaufte Stadien inklusive. Mit »Enjoy The Silence« und »Personal Jesus« enthielt der Longplayer auch die bis heute größten Hits der Band. Violator blieb insgesamt 48 Wochen in den deutschen Albumcharts vertreten.   Wie dieses bahnbrechende Album zustande kam, dokumentieren die beiden Super-Fans Kevin May und David McElroy ganz genau. Sie sprachen dazu mit einer Vielzahl von Mitstreitern – mit der Produzentenlegende Gareth Jones, dem Remixer François Kevorkian, dem Fotografen und Band-Intimus Anton Corbijn sowie mit zahllosen Toningenieuren, Studiomusikern, Videoregisseuren oder Coverdesignern. Sie alle leisteten ihren Beitrag zu dem Gesamtwerk und konnten währenddessen einzigartige Einblicke in die Arbeitsweise von Martin Gore, Dave Gahan, Andy Fletcher und Alan Wilder gewinnen. Von der damals herrschenden Weltlage und der gesellschaftlichen Situation, in der Violator für viele zum Soundtrack ihres Lebens wurde, berichten zudem zahlreiche Fans aus den verschiedensten Ländern.   Diese packend erzählte Oral History gewährt ein faszinierendes Schlaglicht auf die wohl spannendste Entwicklungsphase dieser einzigartigen Band: Sie nimmt die LeserInnen mit in die Studios, wenn an Samples und Sounds gefeilt wurde, zu Signierstunden in den USA, bei denen beinahe Unruhen ausbrachen, und sie erforscht vor allem die einzigartige Chemie zwischen den vier Bandmitgliedern. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit widmet Halo der oft unterschätzten Rolle des vor kurzem verstorbenen Andy Fletcher, aber es schildert auch den enormen emotionalen Druck, unter dem Sänger Dave Gahan damals stand.   Ein Buch von Fans für Fans – passend zum neuen Album und der kommenden Tournee!

        The Bob Dylan Albums - 2nd Edition

        by Anthony Varesi

        Bob Dylan has created a body of work unparalleled in popular music. As a songwriter and as a singer, Dylan expanded the boundaries for song. In this substantially revised and updated second edition of The Bob Dylan Albums, Anthony Varesi analyzes the massive Dylan canon through a detailed discussion of each of the artist’s officially released albums. The book follows Dylan’s career chronologically from 1962’s Bob Dylan through to 2021’s Bootleg Series release Springtime in New York. All of Dylan’s studio albums, live albums, collections and archival releases are examined in the text and in the detailed, annotated, cross-referenced discography, as are Dylan’s notable soundtrack contributions, side projects and benefit concert appearances. The Bob Dylan Albums, 2nd Edition also discusses Dylan’s other writings, such as Chronicles and his Nobel Prize lecture, and reviews the films Dylan has appeared in or been the subject of. The book contains frank analyses of the more controversial aspects of Dylan’s career, including songs Dylan wrote about George Jackson, Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, Joey Gallo and Lenny Bruce, the use of Dylan’s music in advertisements, and Dylan’s 2011 trip to China. The book looks at recurring themes in Dylan’s songs, the influence of other artists on Dylan’s music, and the ongoing relevance of Dylan’s work. In the process, The Bob Dylan Albums, 2nd Edition unearths new meaning in both Dylan’s most famous works and in his songs and albums that have received less attention.

        Diese bescheuerte Fremdheit in meiner Seele

        Autobiografischer Roman

        by Mathias Kopetzki

        Mathias wächst in den siebziger Jahren in einem ­kleinen Örtchen in Niedersachsen auf. Als er mit fünf Jahren durch Zufall erfährt, dass er adoptiert wurde, ist das zwar eine Erklärung für sein »exotisches« Aussehen, doch die Geschichte seiner Herkunft bleibt weiterhin ein großes Rätsel. Auf verschiedene Weise gelingt es ihm, sich gegen rassistische Ressentiments und offene Angriffe zu behaupten. Auch als Erwachsener widerfahren ihm zuweilen absurde Erlebnisse, in denen er als Projektionsfläche für fremdenfeindliche Ängste, Vorurteile oder Sehnsüchte herhalten muss. Kann die Begegnung mit der leiblichen Herkunft Abhilfe schaffen? Mit viel Humor, Sensibilität und Offenheit erzählt ­Mathias Kopetzki seine berührende und spannende Geschichte, berichtet von Fremdsein und Selbstbehauptung, vom Kampf und vom Loslassen und der jahrelangen Suche nach Identität.
