So What, or How to Make Films with Words Garca Dttmann Alexander
A series of philosophical meditations on the nature of aesthetics across a wide array of filmmaking stylesImages, whether filmic or not, cannot be replaced by words. This is the general thesis underlying So What, a collection of essays on canonical filmmakers like Luchino Visconti and Orson Welles; more experimental directors, such as Marguerite Duras and Albert Serra; and visual artists, including Hollis Frampton and Agnes Martin. Yet words can make images.
This is why the book's chapters are organized not according to historical periods or on the basis of film theories but rather by single concepts that function like Alexander Garca Dttmann aims to make these films as if they did not precede his text, capturing their idea and experience.If the relationship between filmic image and text is a heterogeneous one, then this heterogeneity must leave a trace.
