Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. David Leans extraordinary films work philosophically through the modern reproductive and transportive technologies of sight and sound: through trains, planes, ships, and automobiles, from one perspective, and through the modern technology of the radio and gramophone, from another.Leans musical motifs are known worldwide: Laras theme in Zhivago; the Colonel Bogey March in Kwai; Estellas motif in Great Expectations; Rosys motif in Ryans Daughter; Lawrences motif for his adventure in Arabia, and of course Rachmaninoffs pounding chords in Brief Encounter. When, however, Lean described his cutting of pictures as akin to how music flows through pictures, what sort of music or musicality had he in mind: a classical or popular music, or a way of using musical form to mix up the meaning and material of his films?Lydia Goehrs new book tracks the soundscape in Leans films not only through the musical scores composed for the films, but also, and more, through the technology of radio and gramophone that, at the start of Leans career, were becoming indispensable household items for the home. The book begins and ends with a motif running from the early more domestic films locally situated in the English home to the later more extensive epics of colony, commonwealth, and empire. The fidelity-infidelity relationship defined by marriage extends to the loyalty-betrayal relationship regarding countries of war and peaceafter which this relationship is extended to the witty British manner of making film as a perfected and not so perfected symphonic work of a great cutters art. Here, as few other books on Lean have emphasized, the influence of Noel Coward on Lean cannot be overestimated. A fresh account of one of the cinemas great technicians, making the case for his value as a deep and richly thematic filmmaker.
