Renoir


Vannak festők, akik a világot ábrázolják, és vannak, akik újra felfedeztetik velünk. Pierre-Auguste Renoir ilyen művész volt, olyan alkotó, aki nemcsak látni tanított, hanem érezni is. Képei nem pusztán jelenetek, hanem fényből, levegőből és emberi közelségből szőtt, élő pillanatok. A lombok között rezgő napfény, egy nyári délután aranyló könnyedsége, a beszélgetések halk moraja, a táncoló párok örvénylő mozgása, barátok egymásra hajló tekintete mind-mind életre kel vásznain. Renoir festészetében az élet nem távoli vagy ünnepélyes, hanem közvetlen, meleg és lüktetően eleven. E könyv lapjain egy olyan festő élete bontakozik ki, aki a mindennapok egyszerű szépségében találta meg a művészet örök témáját. A párizsi műtermek világából indulunk, ahol a fiatal Renoir kitartással és kíváncsisággal kereste saját hangját, majd végigkísérjük a Montmartre pezsgő utcáin, a kávéházak és tánchelyek vidám forgatagában. Megelevenednek az impresszionista barátságok, a műtermek modelljei, a hűséges mecénások és a múzsák világa, köztük Aline Charigot alakja is, aki nemcsak festményeinek derűs szereplője, hanem a művész életének csendes középpontja lett. A könyv felvillantja a keresés és az átalakulás éveit, az itáliai utazások meghatározó élményét, amikor a reneszánsz mesterek harmóniája új irányba terelte festészetét. Elvezet továbbá a dél-francia tájak ragyogó csendjébe, ahol a mediterrán fényben megszülettek utolsó művei, telt formákkal, meleg tónusokkal és időtlen nyugalmat sugárzó alakokkal. Renoir egész életében ugyanazt a titkot kutatta: miként ragadható meg a festészet nyelvén a fény, az emberi test lágysága és az egymás közelében élő emberek csendes intimitása. Képei nem csupán látványt őriznek, hanem egy életérzést, a pillanat törékeny boldogságát. Talán éppen ezért különösen megrendítő életének utolsó fejezete. Amikor a betegség már minden mozdulatot fájdalmassá tett, amikor ujjai alig engedelmeskedtek, makacs derűvel és rendíthetetlen hittel festett tovább, mintha minden ecsetvonással az élet szépségét erősítené meg újra és újra. Utolsó éveiben, a dél-francia fény ölelésében született képei különös békét sugároznak. Csendéletei, portréi és az emberi test szépségét megidéző festményei egy hosszú élet derűs vallomásai. Arról tanúskodnak, hogy a szépség mindig jelen van a világban, csak meg kell tanulnunk észrevenni.

Where We Stand, Where We Fall


This book demonstrates that cultural icon Doctor Who is, always has been, and always should be, a political narrative. As this much-loved science-fiction show, now in its 62nd year, continues to entertain audiences around the world, some people have complained that the writing, themes and presentation is too political. But, claims Lizbeth Myles, Doctor Who has always explored important and controversial political issues, and it is vital that it continues to do so. This insightful, intelligent and entertaining book looks back at some of the most prominent political themes that the series has tackled over the decades - including Nuclear Annihilation, Feminism, Colonialism, Environmentalism, Scientific Responsibility, and Transhumanism - the historical context in which they has been framed, and how the messaging has changed in different eras of the show''s history.

Le Samourai


In this compelling study, Daisuke Miyao explores Jean-Pierre Melville's cult 1967 thriller Le Samourai, a film that unfolds in a coolly stylised Paris where the paths of a contract killer, Jef Costello (Alain Delon), and the police commissaire pursuing him (François Périer) fatally intersect. Despite its title, Le Samourai, is not a sword-clashing tale of feudal Japan. Rather, Miyao suggests that the film's philosophical framework draws on both existentialism and the samurai moral philosophy of bushido, or 'the way of the warrior', and considers how these philosophies may help explain Jef Costello's identity crisis and his concluding act of self-annihilation. In a close analysis of Melville's technical and aesthetic decisions, Miyao highlights the film's use of close-ups to convey or mask emotion, the play of light and shadow, and the function of flashbacks and dream sequences in the narrative, as well as the meanings of Costello's pet bullfinch. Setting Le Samourai within the shifting landscape of post-war French cinema, Miyao traces its dialogue with Hollywood film noir and Japanese art cinema, particularly Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950), suggesting that both genres informed and influenced Melville's film-making. Finally, Miyao discusses the film’s enduring legacy, from Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) to Yoko M.’s 2020 novella Jef, a prequel to the film.

Three Screenplays


How can I help you, traveller? Let me guide you out of the woods."Cornerstones of modern British folk horror, Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump’s Kill List, A Field in England, and In the Earth together form a singular body of work, revealing England,past and present, as a landscape shaped by history, power, and the occult.

In the Earth, conceived during the COVID pandemic, explores isolation, ecology, and belief as a researcher ventures into the wilderness in search of a colleague lost while pursuing a cure for a deadly disease. Three Screenplays collects the shooting scripts for all three films, available to read together for the first time. With a preface by Ben Wheatley and an introduction by Tariq Goddard, this volume offers a rare insight into one of the most distinctive collaborations in contemporary British cinema.

C20: Sprievodca architektúrou Užhorodu


Užhorod, podobne ako iné mestá moderného Zakarpatska, má v 20. storočí so Slovenskom množstvo kultúrnych a historických väzieb. Pred prvou svetovou vojnou mali naše územia spoločnú skúsenosť, tvorili totiž súčasť uhorskej časti Rakúsko-uhorskej monarchie. V októbri 1919 sa Podkarpatská Rus (vtedajší názov Zakarpatska) stala súčasťou Československej republiky, ktorá vznikla na troskách monarchie z historicky českých a slovenských území. Od roku 1920 sa v Užhorode odohrávajú urbanistické a architektonické procesy nebývalého rozsahu. Súbežne prebiehalo plánovanie a výstavba celých štvrtí, budovanie ciest, regulácia brehov rieky Uh a zakladanie nových inštitúcií. Po pripojení k Ukrajinskej SSR pribudli na mapu mesta ďalšie významné objekty, predovšetkým vzdelávacie, kultúrne a turistické. Historické peripetie, ktorými si Užhorod v 20. storočí prešiel, sa naplno odrážajú aj v jeho architektúre. V tomto sprievodcovi sú zastúpené objekty, ktoré tu zanechali tri z piatich štátov, ktorých bol Užhorod v minulom storočí súčasťou. Naším cieľom nebolo zaznamenať všetky budovy dôležité pre históriu a reprezentáciu mesta vo vreckovom formáte. Dúfame však, že náš výber sa pre vás stane sprievodcom pri pochopení Užhorodu a jeho histórie a inšpiruje vás k láske a hlbšiemu záujmu o jeho architektúru.

Marxove príšery


Kto bol v skutočnosti autorom desivých prízrakov z depozitára Galérie mesta Bratislavy? Kniha Marxove príšery prináša sondu do života a doposiaľ málo preskúmanej tvorby bratislavského maliara Bélu Marxa (1885 – 1951). Ukazuje, že kým jeho idylické pohľady na Prešporok sú dobre známe, temné, až surreálne diela spájala odborná literatúra s jeho menom neprávom. Kniha čitateľa sprevádza spoločenským a kultúrnym prostredím mesta po roku 1900. Na pozadí osudov generácie, ktorej životy drvili politické otrasy 20. storočia, ožíva atmosféra trojjazyčného Prešporka. Autorka na základe precízneho archívneho výskumu rekonštruuje Marxovo rodinné zázemie, jeho štúdiá, viedenský a budapeštiansky angažmán, potulky po Slovensku i záverečnú emigráciu do Nemecka. Najväčším objavom knihy je predstavenie „príšer“ – unikátnej kolekcie diel na pomedzí symbolizmu, dekadencie a art brut, ktorých stopa vedie k Bélovmu bratovi Jozefovi. Autorka sa kriticky vyrovnáva s doterajšími biografickými mýtmi a predkladá katalóg diel oboch bratov. #Bratislava, #vytvarnéumenie, #maliarstvo, #medzivojnovéobdobie, #okolo1900

Visions in the Frame


Reveals how mise-en-scene has shaped the fields of film and television studies. Visions in the Frame provides a detailed evaluation of the journey and status of mise-en-scene—the organization of the visual field within the frame—as a critical concept in film and television studies. The first part of the book looks at the persistence of mise-en-scene within film studies amid a series of fluctuations in theoretical, historical, cultural, philosophical, and critical approaches. The second part shifts focus to consider television studies and the extent to which mise-en-scene has remained an ambiguous element in the growth of the discipline. The third part engages in a series of close readings from a range of styles and genres of television shows, exploring the relationship between visual composition, meaning, and significance as a central critical focus. Across the three parts of the book, Visions in the Frame presents a rigorous and valuable context for understanding the contrasting position and influence of mise-en-scene within film and television studies, using this to offer guidance for its future role within both disciplines.

Plastic Time


Challenges dominant approaches in screen studies by rethinking time not as a function of narrative or montage, but as something actively constructed through performance—through the expressions, gestures, and movements of bodies on screen. Plastic Time radically rethinks how we experience time in screen media—not through plot or montage but through performance. The book explores how actors shape time through the movements and manipulations of their bodies: a quick glance, a recurrent shrug, an awkward embrace. Drawing on examples ranging from Duck Soup to This Is America and from Father Knows Best to Friday Night Lights, it shows how bodily gestures and facial expressions sculpt history and contemporaneity, age, rhythm, and tense. Combining media theory, philosophy, and performance studies, Plastic Time argues that performance doesn't merely represent time—it actively figures it, stretching here and contracting there, now folding together, then tearing apart. Time in film, TV, and video is not fixed but elastic, not given but constantly made and remade, molded anew; it is as plastic as the actors' bodies that enact it.

Steve Cochran


Steve Cochran (1917–1965) was Hollywood’s ultimate contradiction—an intense, rugged leading man with a con man’s charm, a craftsman’s discipline, and a wild streak that made him both irresistible and dangerous. In Steve Cochran: Bad Boy of Hollywood, author Michelangelo Capua paints a richly detailed portrait of a man who was more than just a Hollywood rogue. Drawing from rare sources and packed with revealing anecdotes, this volume reclaims Cochran’s rightful place in film history. With breakout roles in White Heat, The Damned Don’t Cry, and Dallas, Cochran quickly earned a reputation as the quintessential "virile villain"—often cast as a gangster, a racist, or a ruthless playboy. Yet behind the screen persona was a surprisingly nuanced actor, whose greatest performance came in Michelangelo Antonioni’s Il Grido. Though he never quite reached marquee-name status, Cochran worked with such legends as Joan Crawford, James Cagney, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day, Burt Lancaster, and Rock Hudson, under the direction of some of the industry’s finest filmmakers. Off-screen, Cochran lived as boldly as he acted. He built a rustic retreat in the Hollywood Hills and filled it with animals, raced planes and cars, and romanced countless women. His personal life, often tabloid fodder, included three marriages, brushes with the law, and an obsession with freedom that culminated in his mysterious and still-unresolved death at age forty-eight when his body was found aboard his schooner adrift in the Pacific. A compelling blend of Hollywood scandal, cinematic insight, and cultural history, this biography is an essential read and a long-overdue examination of one of classic cinema’s most charismatic and controversial figures.
