The essays offer the reader an insight into the work of a film theorist whose German-language publications have been hitherto unavailable to the film studies audience in the English-speaking world. Balázs’s detailed analyses of the close-up, the shot and montage are illuminating both as applicable models for film analysis, and as historical documents of his key contribution – alongside such contemporaries as Arnheim, Kracauer and Benjamin – to critical debate on film in the ‘golden age’ of the Weimar silents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Béla ázs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51395203629348,"sku":"9781845456603","price":104.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_c02eb1d9-2567-41cb-95c0-2b8c3fb30729.jpg?v=1764956579","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/bla-balzs-early-film-theory-1764954013006","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
