CLOSE-UP 03
The Police Series / Men's Cinema / Weimar Cinema
John Gibbs and Douglas Pye (eds)
The Close-Up series is an innovative and
accessible annual series devoted to the close
analysis of film and television. Each volume
contains three extended individual studies all
dedicated to the detailed investigation of the
many practical choices from setting and
performance to camera position and movement,
from lighting and colour to editing and the
multiple possibilities of sound, that create a
film's form and determine its meanings.
The Police Series Jonathan Bignell
This study closely analyses the mise-en-scene
and visual style of TV programmes including Hill
Street Blues (1981?87), Miami Vice (1984?90),
Homicide: Life on the Street (1993?99), NYPD
Blue (1993?2006) and CSI (2000?present).
Weimar Cinema Iris Luppa
Starting from Brecht's notion of transforming
habitual viewing habits, this study closely
examines three films of this influential era of
filmmaking in Germany ? Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler
(1922), People on Sunday (1929) and Kuhle Wampe
(1932) ? and the complex readings invited by these films.
Men's Cinema Stella Bruzzi
This study offers a detailed discussion on how
film style conveys and articulates notions of
masculinity, and analyses how mise-en-scene,
rather than spectacle alone, shapes a sense of
the masculine in films such as Raging Bull (1980) and The Right Stuff (1983).
