Synopsis Method Acting and Its Discontents by : Shonni Enelow
Method Acting and Its Discontents: On American Psycho-Drama provides a new understanding of a crucial chapter in American theater history. Enelow’s consideration of the broader cultural climate of the late 1950s and early 1960s, specifically the debates within psychology and psychoanalysis, the period’s racial and sexual politics, and the rise of mass media, gives us a nuanced, complex picture of Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio and contemporaneous works of drama. Combining cultural analysis, dramaturgical criticism, and performance theory, Enelow shows how Method acting’s contradictions reveal powerful tensions inside mid-century notions of individual and collective identity.

Synopsis Reverse Shot by : Michael Koresky
For twenty years, Reverse Shot, a journal for film criticism and the house publication of New York’s Museum of the Moving Image, has been a home for movie lovers to find incisive, intelligent writings from a diverse group of the best critics working today. To celebrate the publication's run, MoMI has published this special anniversary anthology, which collects central pieces from the journal’s beginnings up through the latest releases. Broken into four chronological movements, this volume captures not only the films and filmmakers that Reverse Shot’s writers have championed and wrestled over but also tells a story of cinema’s progress and change over the first two decades of the 21st century. More than just for the many longtime readers of Reverse Shot, this collection is an essential reference for the past, present, and future of the moving image and a gift for anyone who cares about films and serious writings about them. “This New York-based publication has remained not only a beacon for quality film writing but also, in so many cases, the domain for the internet’s best piece on a given film. ... Digging into the earliest writings here affirms a site quickly setting an Olympian standard for online movie analysis, pole-vaulting even over many esteemed print publications with less space to play with on the page ... Any one essay gives you a taste of the levels of insight routinely put to bear by its shifting stable of contributors, including Nick Pinkerton, Genevieve Yue, Eric Hynes and Devika Girish.” —Sight & Sound magazine, March 2024

Synopsis Films of Endearment by : Michael Koresky
An Esquire Best Book About Hollywood A USA TODAY Best Book of 2021 “A lovely and loving book.”—Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club "I'm not sure I have ever read a book about movies that is as tender and open-hearted as Films of Endearment."—Mark Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Mike Nichols: A Life A poignant memoir of family, grief and resilience about a young man, his dynamic mother and the '80s movies they shared together Michael Koresky's most formative memories were simple ones. A movie rental. A mug of tea. And a few shared hours with his mother. Years later and now a successful film critic, Koresky set out on a journey with his mother to discover more about their shared cinematic past. They rewatched ten films that she first introduced to him as a child, one from every year of the '80s, each featuring women leads. Together, films as divergent as 9 to 5, Terms of Endearment, The Color Purple and Aliens form the story of an era that Koresky argues should rightly be called "The Decade of the Actress." Films of Endearment is a reappraisal of the most important and popular female-driven films of that time, a profound meditation on loss and resilience, and a celebration of the special bond between mothers and their sons.

Synopsis Reverse Shots by : Wendy Gay Pearson
From the dawn of cinema, images of Indigenous peoples have been dominated by Hollywood stereotypes and often negative depictions from elsewhere around the world. With the advent of digital technologies, however, many Indigenous peoples are working to redress the imbalance in numbers and counter the negativity. The contributors to Reverse Shots offer a unique scholarly perspective on current work in the world of Indigenous film and media. Chapters focus primarily on Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and cover areas as diverse as the use of digital technology in the creation of Aboriginal art, the healing effects of Native humour in First Nations documentaries, and the representation of the pre-colonial in films from Australia, Canada, and Norway.

Synopsis Terence Davies by : Michael Koresky
Called the most important British filmmaker of his generation, Terence Davies made his reputation with modern classics like Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes, personal works exploring his fractured childhood in Liverpool. His idiosyncratic and unorthodox narrative films defy easy categorization, as their seeming existence within realism and personal memory cinema is undermined by an abstractness that makes the way he lays bare personal pain come across as distant, even alien. Film critic Michael Koresky explores the unique emotional tenor of Davies's work by focusing on four paradoxes within the director's oeuvre: films that are autobiographical yet fictional; melancholy yet elating; conservative in tone and theme yet radically constructed; and obsessed with the passing of time yet frozen in time and space. Through these contradictions, the films' intricate designs reveal a cumulative, deeply personal meditation on the self. Koresky also analyzes how Davies's ongoing negotiation of--and struggle with--questions of identity related to his past and his homosexuality imbue the details and jarring juxtapositions in his films with a queer sensibility, which is too often overlooked due to the complexity of Davies's work and his unfashionable ambivalence toward his own sexual orientation.
