Description
In Utopian Television, Michael Cramer examines works of the great filmmakers Roberto Rossellini, Peter Watkins, and Jean-Luc Godard, all of whom looked to television as a promising new medium even while remaining critical of its existing practices. Cramer reveals the extent to which television inspired and shaped hopes of a better future as well as of better moving image.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised as a "theoretical treatise and intellectual history," Michael Cramer’s book is noted for its insightful navigation of the politics of art cinema and its utopian vision by scholars such as Karl Schoonover and Fredric Jameson. It offers rich, rigorous scholarship that recontextualises the pioneering television work of Rossellini and Watkins, shedding new light on Godard's contributions. CHOICE calls it a "rich and theoretically rigorous text," and Sight and Sound commends Cramer for providing invaluable context through contemporary writing and filmmaker interviews.
