Following his extraordinary 24 Hour Psycho, Douglas Gordon's latest film, Feature Film, further explores Alfred Hitchcock's dramatic devices. Where 24 Hour Psycho considered the effect of Hitchcock's thriller if extended to 24 hours and devoid of sound, Feature Film examines Vertigo's intense, anxiety-inducing music if separated from its on-screen narrative. This book contains stills from Gordon's film of Paris Opera conductor James Conlon rehearsing Bernard Hermann's Vertigo score Focusing on Conlon's hands, arms, and facial expressions, the stills provide a fascinating look at the sweeping and subtle gestures that comprise his physical interpretation of Vertigo's musical accompaniment. This book also includes a CD of the music actually recorded during the filming, as well as a separate insert containing two essays with background information on the music, the composer, and Gordon's film work.

Liebe, Haß und Tod - ein Drama spielt sich ab auf dem Gutshof Wuthering Heights in Yorkshires düsterer Nebellandschaft. Vom Dämon der Rache und Eifersucht besessen, richtet der Findling Heathcliff ein Werk der Zerstörung an, dem auch die Angebetete Cathy zum Opfer fällt. Mehrere Generationen werden in einen Strudel rasender Leidenschaften gezogen. Emily Brontës ergreifende Geschichte voll psychologischer Raffinesse löste 1847 einen Sturm der Empörung aus.

"Compiles artistic and analytical practices that expand thought on cinema ... thematizes archetypes and recurring patterns in film history ... with contributions from cultural history, philosophy, and film theory"--Blurb.
