Marx and the Moving Image approaches cinema from a Marxist perspective. It argues that the supposed end of history; marked by the comprehensive triumph of capitalism and the end of cinema; calls for revisiting Marxs writings in order to analyse film theories; histories and practices.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. full of great suggestions and organized wellBy MsProsperoI have over 30 years in the acting business and can attest to the great advice in this book. I also teach and have done some minor directing gigs -- I used this for a directing workshop recently and found it to be of great value. It boils down what many directing books talk about (all good books too)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Short; sweet and wise like a Strunk and White for directing.By E.GreeneI found this to be just what I needed in my search for a book on directing; in my case directing theatre and despite the many other larger or more well-known books on the subject out there; Notes on Directing was all I needed to get me going.I felt like I spent a day with an expert giving me all his advice as we walked through the deserted rooms; halls and stage of an old theatre in London.It also reminded me of Strunk and Whites The Elements of Style book for writing; in that it contains clear; direct notes for doing things right. Of course in this case the rules can and probably should be broken to be made your own; but the advice is still much appreciated; helpful and invaluable.This is a small read that I happened to enjoy immensely.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic; concise and relevant no matter the era or stage.By kylieLoved the sharpness and wit. The direct approach works here and there is a lot of insight in these pages that have the potential to help a director elevate her work.
