| Abstract | "Romanian Cinema: Thinking Outside the Screen explores the philosophical and metaphysical manifestations of contemporary cinema. Starting with the hypothesis that movies provide an experience that is both a pathway into the thinking mechanisms of modern humans and into our collective psyche, this study focuses on the elements that form the "Romanian cinematic mind" as part of the European cinema-thinking. While this book is based on specific case studies provided by recent productions in Romanian filmmaking, it also contextualizes the national cinema within the larger, European art of making movies. Offering close interpretations of the works of world renowned directors like Cristi Puiu, Cristian Mungiu, Corneliu Porumboiu or more recently Adina Pintilie and Constantin Popescu, this book questions the "Romanianess" of their cinematic techniques, and places their philosophical roots both in a particular mode of thinking and within continental philosophy"-- Provided by publisher. |
