Widescreen technology’s impact on film aesthetics
Examining widescreen cinema as a worldwide aesthetic and industrial
phenomenon, the essays in this volume situate the individual expressions of
this new technology within the larger cultural and industrial practices that
inform them. What Hollywood sought to market globally as CinemaScope,
SuperScope, Techniscope,
Technirama, and
Panavision took indigenous form in
a host of compatible anamorphic formats developed around the world. The book
documents how the aesthetics of the first wave of American widescreen films
underwent revision in Europe and Asia as filmmakers brought their own
idiolect to the language of widescreen mise-en-scène, editing, and sound
practices. The work of Otto Preminger, Anthony Mann, Samuel Fuller, Sam
Peckinpah, Seijun Suzuki, Kihachi Okamoto, and Tai Kato, among others, is
addressed.
John Belton is Professor of English and Film at Rutgers University and
author of Widescreen Cinema.
Sheldon Hall is Senior Lecturer in Stage and Screen at Sheffield Hallam
University, United Kingdom.
Steven Neale is Professor of Film Studies at Exeter University.
