{"product_id":"david-cronenberg-author-or-filmmaker","title":"David Cronenberg – Author or Filmmaker ?","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than thirty years, David Cronenberg has made independent films such as Scanners and A History of Violence which aim to disturb, surprise, and challenge audiences. He has also repeatedly drawn on literary fiction for inspiration, adapting themes from authors like William Burroughs, J. G. Ballard, and Patrick McGrath for the big screen; David Cronenberg: Author or Filmmaker? is the first book to explore how underground and mainstream fiction have influenced—and can help illuminate—his labyrinthine films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilm scholar Mark Browning examines Cronenberg’s literary aesthetic not only in relation to his films’ obvious source material, but by comparing his movies to the writings of Vladimir Nabokov, Angela Carter, and Bret Easton Ellis. This groundbreaking volume addresses Cronenberg’s narrative structures and his unique conception of auteurism, as well as his films’ shocking psychological frameworks, all in the broader context of film adaptation studies. David Cronenberg is an essential read for anyone interested in the symbiotic relationship between literature and filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“David Cronenberg is a work that attempts to illuminate and unravel the connection between the great Canadian auteur and his literary influences.”—Film Snob Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“David Cronenberg is an essential read for anyone interested in the symbiotic relationship between literature and filmmaking.”—Video Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intellect Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781841501734\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Intellect Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £19.14","offer_id":47901557424305,"sku":"SB-1841501735-C3","price":19.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1841501735.jpg?v=1788844153","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/david-cronenberg-author-or-filmmaker","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
