Kino kak universal'nyi iazyk - Akhmetov K.S.

While watching movies, we hardly think about the fact that behind every detail in the frame, behind every dramatic decision, behind every camera movement and editing transition is the experience of generations of filmmakers. Cinema has long ceased to be a simple entertainment - it is a modern art form, which has its own expressive language, sometimes difficult to understand. In this book, Kamil Akhmetov - writer, screenwriter, teacher of the Moscow School of Cinema, author of the best-selling book "VID on the Craft" (2017, co-authored with Alexander Lyubimov) - is available using examples from domestic and foreign classics (films "Eight with "Seventh Seal," "Flying Cranes," "Andrei Rublev," "Kalina Red," "Unfinished Play for Mechanical Piano," "Pulp Fiction" etc.), introduces the reader to the main events of film history, the basics of film theory, drama and editing and approaches to film analysis. Readers will be able to see their favorite films in a new way and get more aesthetic pleasure from them than before. The book is intended for all those involved and interested in cinema.
