The Cinema of Sofia Coppola Fashion, Culture, Celebrity
Suzanne Ferriss, Nova Southeastern University, USA The Cinema of Sofia Coppola provides the first comprehensive analysis of Coppola’s oeuvre that situates her work broadly in relation to contemporary artistic, social and cultural currents. Suzanne Ferriss considers the central role of fashion - in its various manifestations - to Coppola’s films, exploring fashion’s primacy in every cinematic dimension: in film narrative; costuming, production, sound and music design; cinematography; and in branding/ marketing. Ferriss analyzes the role of fashion in each of Coppola’s six films: Marie Antoinette, The Beguiled, The Bling Ring, The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Somewhere.

Claude Lanzmann’s 'Shoah' Outtakes
Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories
Sue Vice, University of Sheffield, UK
Mike Meneghetti, University of Toronto, Canada
Holocaust Rescue and Resistance
This book focuses on the interviews from which no extracts appear in the finished film version of Shoah or in any subsequent release. The material analysed features interviews with the former partisan Abba Kovner, wartime activist Hansi Brand, Kovno Ghetto leader Leib Garfunkel, rescuer Tadeusz Pankiewicz and members of Roosevelt’s War Refugee Board. Sue Vice contends that watching and analysing the wholly excluded footage from Shoah gives us a new insight into the making of the documentary. Furthermore, she argues that these outtakes show the potential for new filmic forms envisaged on Lanzmann’s part to represent this crucial subject.

On the Act of Looking
Reading Joshua Oppenheimer’s Diptych: The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence Edited by David Denny, Portland State University, USA & Rex Butler, Monash University, Australia This collection of essays by film scholars, art historians, historians, political scientists, philosophers, Indonesian human rights activists and creative writers looks at Joshua Oppenheimer’s diptych The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence as a cinematic event that opens up a host of interrelated questions on historical memory, truth and reconciliation, and the limits of documentary filmmaking. On the Act of Looking affirms Oppenheimer’s use of fiction and manipulation as a technique to expose not so much a reality behind the appearance of things, but how appearance as such can become a site of intervention, or truth-telling.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Stanley Kubrick
Migrations, Movies, Music
My Voyage to Italy (1999), Martin Scorsese’s personal documentary excursion through his formative experiences with Italian cinema, stands as a key progenitor for Scorsese’s resuscitated documentary practice today. The director’s unassuming desire to compose histories has clearly guided his late-period film and television output, yet his distinctive contributions as an historian continue to be overlooked in conventional auteurist studies. Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories offers the first extended investigation of these films by decisively re-situating Scorsese’s varied late-period works within the context of contemporary practices and theories of audiovisual historiography.

Godard and Sound
Acoustic Innovation in the Late Films of Jean-Luc Godard Albertine Fox, University of Bristol, UK Godard and Sound is the first book to bring together Jean-Luc Godard's post-1979 multimedia works, and an analysis of their rich soundscapes. The book provides detailed critical discussions of feature-length films, shorts and videos, delving into Godard's inventive experiments with the cinematic soundtrack and offering new insights into his latest 3D films. By detailing the production contexts and philosophy behind Godard's idiosyncratic sound design, it provides an accessible route to understanding his complex use of music, speech and environmental sound, alongside the distorting effects of speed alteration and auditory excess.
