Much of what made it notorious was its incorporation of real people, events, and lifestyles, making it a documentation of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses performance, camera movement, editing, and music to produce a striking aesthetic mix of energy and listlessness, of exuberance and despair. Richard Dyer's study considers each of these aspects of the film—phenomenon, document, aesthetic—and argues that they are connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the inspirations and ideas that were subsequently turned into \u003ci\u003eLa dolce vita\u003c\/i\u003e, Dyer then explores the making of the film, the film itself, and finally its critical reception, providing engaging new insights into this mesmerising piece of cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47558957203692,"sku":"9781838719845","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781838719845-la-dolce-vita.jpg?v=1776923610","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/la-dolce-vita-by-richard-dyer-9781838719845","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
