Excerpt from Close Up, Vol. 5: The Only Magazine Devoted to Films as an Art; July, 1929
Nobody would believe, from a scrutiny of film conditions at this present time, that Close Up could be enjoying yet another birthday. Yet here we are, unweakened by attrition or starvation, once more going forth - kind of Zodiacal Aries - butting with horns, stamping with hooves, lacking only a dragon's fire to scorch our enemies. This is again a happy anniversary, and Aries is growing to a big ram. His woolly head is wiser and his rounded horns have grown hard.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of cinema, particularly exploring the development of French cinema and its unique characteristics. The author, himself a French film critic and historian, traces the emergence of the French cinematic style from its origins in pictorial art and its distinct separation from the more action-oriented American films. The book examines the role of key figures like Germaine Dulac and Jean Epstein in shaping the French cinema's focus on visual storytelling and psychological depth, often achieved through the use of pictorial imagery and symbolism. The author argues that this pictorial-minded approach remains central to French cinema, despite the influence of other movements like the advent of sound. This book offers valuable insights into the development of cinematic techniques and styles and the cultural factors that have influenced them, making it an insightful read for film enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in the history of cinema and its various national expressions.
