It also provides a review and summary of his directorial career, spanning over a decade from 1996 to 2008, offering a comprehensive account of his reflections and activities over these years. First published in 2009 by Peking University Press, this book has been revised and reissued by the author. It captures Jia Zhangke's tireless exploration and unique reflections on the art of film throughout his career, complemented by representative interviews with key figures in the film, art, and media industries. Organized chronologically, the book focuses on Jia Zhangke's films, showcasing his sensitive and persistent journey and embodying his profound nostalgia through cinema.\u003cbr\u003e The camera faces matter but examines the spirit.\u003cbr\u003e Behind the characters' endless conversations, tedious singing, and mechanical dancing, we find that passion can only exist for a short time and conscience becomes an accidental phenomenon. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a film about the anxious reality, some beautiful things are disappearing from our lives quickly. We are facing collapse, in trouble, life becomes lonely again and thus noble.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Director's Note\u0026gt; (\"1998, Xiao Wu\")\u003cbr\u003e I want to use film to care for ordinary people, and that starts with respecting ordinary life. In the slow flow of time, I feel the joy and heaviness of each ordinary life. \"Life is like a long, tranquil river.\" Let us experience it.\u003cbr\u003e Bei Dao wrote in an essay: People always think that the storm they have experienced is the only one, and they compare themselves to the storm, wanting to blow the next generation around as well.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, he asked, \"How will the next generation live?\" This is a question they themselves must answer.\u003cbr\u003e I don't know how we will live or what kind of movies we will make.\u003cbr\u003e Because “we” is such an empty word—who are we?\u003cbr\u003e I don’t poeticize my experiences. \u003cbr\u003eAt a cinema in France, I watched Wim Wenders' latest documentary, \"Buena Vista Social Club.\" Filmed primarily in Cuba, this tale of veteran jazz musicians was also shot digitally and then transferred to film. The grainy images on screen shimmered with a documentary aesthetic, while the nimble nature of digital cameras also enriched the film's perspectives. The audience's enthusiastic applause throughout the viewing experience left me feeling a new cinematic aesthetic taking shape with the development of digital technology. The low contrast requirements, extremely small size, ease of operation, and low cost of digital cameras all offer a promising future.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;After the advent of VCD and digital video cameras\u0026gt; \u003cbr\u003eOver the years, I've witnessed the struggles of countless friends who've tried to make a film. Some, clutching a stack of scripts, struggle to get through one company after another, facing \"No Salespeople Allowed\" signs. Faced with a slew of indignation, their self-esteem crippled, their ideals becoming a killer. Others pin their hopes on personal connections, seeking out countless friends, hoping to find a big boss who'll lend a hand. But the big boss is always somewhere else, and hope always lies ahead. One day, a \"boss\" suddenly takes your script, only to discover a year or two later that the \"boss\" was also trying to get something for nothing, and wasn't much of a pro. Others, after trying to \"PR\" with foreigners and attending a few parties at diplomatic residences, discover that foreign affairs are difficult to navigate, and that foreigners are just as practical. Entertainment newspapers, big and small, are booming, one after another. But strolling around Beitaipingzhuang, I still feel a sense of desolation. Opportunities seem plentiful, but I don't know where to start. So, I spend less time researching film and more time socializing. A few friends who share the same suffering would occasionally get together, drink alone at a food stall at Beihang University, and when they played rock-paper-scissors, they would start with: \"When you're in the world, who can avoid being stabbed? One knife, two knifes...\" \u003cbr\u003eTokyo Summer\u003cbr\u003e Later, someone told me that your choice of a thief as the central character lacked universal significance and didn't align with your intention of documenting this era. I believe that whether a character in a work is universal doesn't depend on their specific social status, but rather on your ability to grasp this specific character from a human perspective.\u003cbr\u003e I'm drawn to the character of the thief because it offers a perspective that allows me to explore the fascinating transformations of relationships. For example, Xiaowu's friend Xiaoyong, once a thief, transforms himself into a prominent local \"private entrepreneur\" through smuggling cigarettes and running a karaoke bar. There's a shift in value relationships here: smuggling cigarettes to trade, running a karaoke bar to entertainment. In this way, people like Xiaoyong can seamlessly adapt and shift their social status in such a world. A thief is always just a thief. \u003cbr\u003eThis aesthetic preference of mine may be partly rooted in my reading of Borges's novels. Of course, I read them in Chinese translation, so I have no way of judging the original text. Through the translation, I encounter concrete, unadorned images. Borges uses this concise language to construct a complex and elusive imaginary world for us through simple description—exactly what I deeply aspire to achieve when making films. For example, the sequence in \"Xiao Wu\" after Mei Mei kisses Xiao Wu, with the soundtrack from John Woo's \"The Killer,\" aims to create an effect of alienation: allowing our perception to freely move back and forth between the two planes of reality and unreality.\u003cbr\u003e A grassroots director from China (dialogue) \u003cbr\u003eBut once the film began, I was plunged into Edward Yang's meticulously orchestrated mundane life. This is a film about family, about middle age, and about the human condition. The story expands from the middle-class character played by Wu Nien-jen, revealing the truth behind a \"happy\" Chinese family. I can't recount the film's story in detail, because the pervasive \"happy\" truth is tense and heartbreaking. The child's closing line, \"I'm only seven, but I feel old,\" left me even more melancholy. Edward Yang's masterpiece so plainly captures the pressures of life that it even left me gasping for air. I can't connect \"Yi Yi\" with his previous films because Yang has truly surpassed himself. His precious life experience was finally uninterrupted by overpowering ideas, and in the slow and painful peeling away, the true feelings of fifty years old were exposed. And on that rainy afternoon in Paris, I myself had witnessed the most brilliant film of 2000.\u003cbr\u003e Who is Ushering in a New Era for Chinese-Language Films? \u003cbr\u003eMy approach is to stay completely out of the so-called \"circle,\" and even less interested in the grudges within it. In Beijing, I operate relatively independently, a somewhat closed-off system within which I can focus intensely on my work. From the outset, I've had a relatively complete plan for my own creation, hoping to gradually establish my own spiritual world within the film industry. This is a very appealing working method, allowing me to disregard external factors, including the success or failure of film festivals or the box office. Neither of these is my ultimate goal. What always preoccupies me are artistic issues, and artistic issues are your own business, unrelated to the circle or others.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Image Selection in the Experiential World (Written Discussion)\u0026gt; \u003cbr\u003eI particularly like a quote by Antonioni: \"When you enter a space, you should immerse yourself for ten minutes, listen to what the space has to say, and then engage in dialogue with it.\" This has been a consistent tenet of my filmmaking ethos. Only by standing in a real, live-action space can I understand how to shoot a scene. My storyboards are largely formed this way, and it's been incredibly helpful. Within a space, you can find something, feel it, and then trust it.\u003cbr\u003e I filmed in many spaces: train stations, bus stations, waiting rooms, dance halls, karaoke bars, billiard halls, roller skating rinks, teahouses... During editing, due to length constraints, many things had to be removed. I found a rhythm and order in these spaces, as many of them are related to travel, and I chose the ones that best fit this theme. \u003cbr\u003eFilmmaking is an industry, and filmmaking is a highly planned endeavor. A director's independent approach aims to minimize the constraints and restrictions imposed by industry. These constraints aren't just the pressures of producers and the controls of film censorship; filmmaking itself is a disciplined process. DV offers a sense of freedom from industry. When filming the bus station, the local guide first took us to the coal mine to film a workers' club. After we emerged, we found ourselves in the same spot in the film, where people were waiting for the bus. The sun was already setting, and it felt like a sudden, scorching sun. I filmed this spot, relentlessly, capturing a lot of footage. By the time I was filming the old man, I was already quite satisfied; he was so dignified, and I patiently filmed him. As my camera followed him onto the bus, a woman suddenly intruded. My sound engineer said I was trembling at that moment. As I stared at her, the background was a stark, flat workers' dormitory. At that moment, I felt a strong sense of religious faith, and I kept filming along. Then another man suddenly entered; I don't know their relationship, but in the end, both men left. Throughout the entire process, I felt every minute was a gift from God. \u003cbr\u003e\u0026lt;Autobiography of \"Public Places\"\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e I still have the afternoon habit of meeting people at Huangtingzi: toasting with friends, slamming the table and arguing with enemies, giving interviews, trying to persuade producers, begging for help, seeking advice from experts. I don't drink much, but I talk a lot. My hometown, Fenyang, produces Fenjiu, often bearing inscriptions by famous people. Suddenly, a line from someone's poem came to mind: \"Only with wine can one flow through consciousness, and the joy of writing long essays never ceases.\" This intensified my mental activity. As I toasted, my heart suddenly sank, knowing that I hadn't gotten my business done, and sadness washed over me. The conversation suddenly waned, and I hunched over the table, watching the flickering candlelight. The clamor around me faded, evoking the atmosphere of \"Flowers of Shanghai.\" Then I thought of my aging and my own dawdling life. Life felt frivolous, my body heavy. I suddenly, strangely, left the table like an old man, and in the darkness on my way home, I vaguely saw memories of my childhood. Knowing I was a little tipsy, I told the driver: \"Only with wine can one flow through consciousness.\" The master has seen this many times and will not respond, knowing that the man will wake up again at dawn: he will smile apologetically and shake hands with people, completely unaware that he has been so embarrassed and behaved in an ugly manner. \u003cbr\u003eIn the afternoon, I was waiting for someone again. The customer hadn't arrived yet, and my earlier excitement had subsided. In tune with the afternoon's relaxed atmosphere, I stood up and looked out the window. Outside, people were busy cycling under the bright sun, chasing after some unknown fate. My heart felt like the fleeting nature of life, and I felt a pang of melancholy. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman came in, ordered a drink, and asked Xiao Chen to play some Jeff Chang. Before the song even started, she burst into tears. It turned out this bar was a place where you could cry.\u003cbr\u003e If I go to Huangtingzi now, the bar has been demolished and turned into a pile of dirt. It's a metaphor: everything can turn to dust and disappear. So I have to hold on to the movies, not for immortality, but just to shed a tear.\u003cbr\u003e \u0026lt;Stream of consciousness only possible with alcohol\u0026gt;","brand":"台海出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Softcover","offer_id":46415843754223,"sku":"9787516812969","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/IMG_4810_29b2cbf9-8a62-488d-96d4-b34e9087ccc8.jpg?v=1745481486"},{"product_id":"电影-我略知一二-9787542684202","title":"Dian Ying, Wo Lue Zhi Yi Er (Movies, I Know a Thing or Two)","description":"“Film does not exist for the 'beauty' you wish to see; film exists to touch people's hearts.” *Movies: What I Know a Little Bit About* is director Jia Zhangke's film study notes and a general education course on cinema for everyone, consisting of seventeen lectures.

The observations began with New York City's parks, playgrounds, and informal recreational areas within its neighborhoods over a 10-year period. \u003cbr\u003eWhat makes a city's public spaces vibrant or dull? What attracts people? What turns them off? Sunlight is important for a city's public spaces, as are trees, water, access to snacks, and a place to sit.

Professor Gombrich's exploration of the psychology and history of pictorial representation is intelligent and comprehensive, leading him into many important areas. In the process of demonstrating that portraiture is far more difficult than it appears, Gombrich examines, questions, and reevaluates many new and old views, including those on imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the problem of abstraction, the validity of perspective, and the interpretation of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAlthough published over 40 years ago, this book retains its vitality and relevance.

Each of the 33 stories served as material for films in the making. This \"writing director\" uses a visual brushstroke imbued with a photographic eye to \"sketch\" various situations, weaving together landscapes and imagery rich with meaning. These works possess not only a transcendent literary quality but also connect with the films he directed, constructing the poetic world of a master.\u003cbr\u003e * * *\u003cbr\u003e ◎ An inspirational sketchbook by a winner of three major film festivals, showcasing a concentrated burst of An's style elements:\u003cbr\u003e Ambiguous and alienated emotions, an elusive fate, inexplicable undercurrents of violence, a helpless and naked heart, a hidden and illusory reality... This work continues the modernist core of iconic works such as \"L'Avventura,\" \"Night,\" \"Red Desert,\" and \"Blow-Up,\" using words to interpret the crises and anxieties of the spiritual world. It not only includes the \"textual embryos\" of his late classics \"Days in the Clouds\" and \"Eros,\" but also the \"creative soul\" of unfilmed works. \u003cbr\u003e◎ Visual distillation and thematic montage invite readers to experience the famous director's way of observing the world:\u003cbr\u003e Antonioni's unique \"cinematic eye\" writing encompasses more than just flashes of cinematic jargon, such as \"eye pans\" and \"fade-ins,\" or scenes with out-of-sync sound and image, or audible voiceovers. It also encompasses the visual sketches and montages of various pre-filmed materials. The author freely navigates the realm of non-fiction and fiction, transparently demonstrating the creative process that encompasses the core concept of narrative.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ The new edition cover is designed by a cutting-edge designer, trying to fit in with An's style and making it more collectible:\u003cbr\u003e The main visual image features sketches by Georges Seurat, a leading artist of the Pointillist school, titled \"Night Walk\" and \"Man Reading.\" The psychedelic red and green colors are freely rendered, evoking the diffuse stream-of-consciousness writing of Arnold.

I still remember his description of space: immersing yourself in it for ten minutes allows you to communicate with it. It was then that I suddenly realized that space is alive, something you can touch and interact with. \u003cbr\u003eJia Zhangke: I've seen a lot of films I particularly like, films that confront the world head-on, like Antonioni's \"A Moment to Remember.\" To this day, he still tells me, and tells us all, what he saw in \"L'Avventura\": that our lives are a mess. For decades, he's been saying that our lives are a mess, but you can actually see some changes in him. He might add: \"Our lives are a mess, but that's just how life is.\"\u003cbr\u003e —— Lou Ye I was captivated by L’Avventura and Antonioni’s later films. He looked directly into the mystery of the soul. I hope I can continue to experience these images and wander around them.\u003cbr\u003e —Martin Scorsese: I tend to observe and think from the character's subjective perspective, while Michelangelo is calmer and more detached, not in the middle, but rather the storyteller's perspective. His theme is alienation: separation, incompatibility, and distance. My films bear similar labels. For me, alienation gradually takes shape in the film, while Michelangelo's alienation is a persistent presence.\u003cbr\u003e — Wim Wenders\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e📖 Media recommendation: In the empty and silent spaces of the world, he found metaphors that can illuminate the silent spaces in our hearts.

By focusing on the ways in which marginality functioned in medieval culture, Camille reveals the complex social concepts of the Middle Ages and the true sources of innovation in marginal art, revealing how this subversive art form sustained hegemonic systems.","brand":"北京大学出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242042740975,"sku":"9787301334263","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1QjPEkf3QC12IfC3t5LWTt7tnvu5dx8tC.jpg?v=1738967436"},{"product_id":"肌肤之目-9787112182701","title":"Skin Eyes","description":"Since its first edition in 1996, Eyes of the Skin has become a classic work of architectural theory.

Instead of using the static tense \"thought,\" \"Thinking\" refers to the dynamic process of thinking, which Zumthor uses here to refer to the ongoing process of reflection. The carefully selected photographs demonstrate the contemplative quality of Peter Zumthor's architectural thinking, which is characterized by the beauty of materials, the precise modeling of scale, the purity of abstract composition, the pleasure of perfect detail, and the dynamic connection between architecture and nature. Zumthor's architecture constrains the color range to the subtle differences between light and shadow, constraining the interplay between light and form. It emphasizes the inherent rigor and precision of the buildings by enhancing their form and thoughtfulness. The abstract beauty of the architecture captured in these photographs aptly illustrates the French poet Baudelaire's line: \"'Simplicity' embellishes beauty!\" To design a building that connects with the sensuality of life, designers must consider a level far beyond form and construction. Several years after the first edition went out of print, Thinking Architecture (2nd Edition) has been updated with three new essays: \"Does Beauty Have a Form?\", \"The Magic of Reality,\" and \"Light in the Landscape.\" Thinking Architecture (2nd Edition) has been re-formatted by Hannele Graulund and includes new color photographs of Zumthor's new home and studio in Haldenstein, taken by Laura Padgett himself. In these essays, Peter Zumthor expresses his motivation for designing these buildings: the multifaceted feelings and understandings within ourselves, combined with a powerful and authentic expression and personality.

Featuring a perfectly recreated, high-quality binding and meticulously polished cover fonts by renowned poster designer Huang Hai, this invaluable behind-the-scenes guide is a must-read for all creative professionals. \"Scripts are constantly evolving, just like living things.\" \u003cbr\u003e📖 Editor's recommendation: \"Parasite\" is the most popular Asian film in recent years. Director Bong Joon-ho, who graduated from the Department of Sociology, tells this \"comedy without clowns and tragedy without villains\" in a stylized way. It also incorporates in-depth thinking on realistic issues such as class differentiation and the gap between rich and poor. It can be said to be a perfect fusion of art and entertainment and a culmination of his career.\u003cbr\u003e Whether it's the audience's enthusiastic response, the media's rave reviews, the record-breaking awards accolades, or the 8.8 rating from over a million people on Douban, all speak volumes about the film's transnational success. The script, in particular, is particularly acclaimed.

Bong Joon-ho is one of the \"Four Heavenly Kings\" of Korean cinema and a director who has rewritten the history of both Korean and global cinema. After \"Parasite\" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and became a quadruple Oscar winner, South Korean President Moon Jae-in posted a congratulatory message, saying, \"This is a supreme honor... I understand that a film requires the dedication of the director, actors, and crew, from the script to every aspect of production.\" He also invited director Bong Joon-ho to lunch, praising him for \"overcoming the barriers faced by non-English language films.\" \u003cbr\u003eOfficially authorized, the final draft of the script is revealed, including scenes not included in the final film. The details reveal the screenwriter's choices and the director's thinking, revealing a more complete storyline, causal connections, and a more three-dimensional psychological dynamic and character soul. From the text, we can appreciate the quirky, maddening, and compassionate artistic spirit. What foreshadowing, foreshadowing, and echoes are there in the dialogue and actions? — The precise structure is clear at a glance; the emotional appeals of the characters, the metaphorical symbolism of the props, the subtle control of the twists... The screenwriter's ingenuity is intriguing. How does the final draft differ from the finished film? These changes are evidence of the director's \"constant expansion of his tentacles and constant reflection.\" A review of the film will be even more rewarding.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ The dialogue is exquisite, with many golden sentences, making the heavy topic seem light, and the bitter humor is full of sadness. \"It's not \"rich but kind\", it's \"rich therefore kind.\"\u003cbr\u003e \"Money is an iron; it irons out all wrinkles.\"\u003cbr\u003e \"At night, when I turned on the light, cockroaches scurried all over the floor...\"\u003cbr\u003e \"We're in a semi-basement. The smell won't go away until we leave here.\" \u003cbr\u003e\"People who ride the subway have a special smell...

From story conception and script revisions to editing decisions, what went into the making of \"Parasite\"? What were some interesting anecdotes during the casting process? What were the meanings behind the character names? — Let director Bong Joon-ho share his behind-the-scenes secrets.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ The director specially provided an exclusive seal for the simplified Chinese version, and the cover font design was undertaken by design master Huang Hai, making it very collectible; the interior and exterior styles are reproduced one-to-one, perfectly presenting the texture of the original; the inner pages are made of fine and thick 98g off-white offset paper, with PUR glue binding that is easy to lay flat, providing a friendly reading experience; a postcard is included with the book, with stills and the director's hand-drawn storyboards on the front and back.\u003cbr\u003e 📖 Content Introduction This book is the final version of the script used for the filming of the movie \"Parasite\". It also includes unreleased stills and an exclusive interview with the director, fully presenting the original script and behind-the-scenes stories of the movie. \u003cbr\u003eThe film tells the story of Kim Ki-woo, who comes from a poor family and uses his tutoring job as an opportunity to infiltrate the upper-class elite family of President Park. The four members of the Kim family, who were originally unemployed, then \"successfully get jobs\" at the Park family, which triggers a series of unexpected stories, until an unexpected incident plunges everyone into a bizarre vortex of fate...\u003cbr\u003e 📖 Media Recommendation: A thrilling performance from an impeccable cast that hits every note and harmonic resonance in Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won's polyphonic script. A masterclass in tragicomedy that will get under your skin and devour your cinematic soul.\u003cbr\u003e —The Observer\u003cbr\u003e A cinematic miracle. Bong Joon-ho has already achieved great things in his career, and now he reaches new heights. A riotous social satire that is both wildly entertaining and deeply ironic.\u003cbr\u003e Empire\u003cbr\u003e With “Parasite,” Bong Joon-ho’s finest film to date, the 50-year-old director articulates a common thread running through all his previous films: There is no war, only class war. \u003cbr\u003e—The Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e Bong Joon-ho is a fan of stealth. Like Hitchcock, he is the cat that searches for toys with us, scratching us with his claws and making us complicit in actions we might otherwise fear or despise.\u003cbr\u003e —The New Yorker\u003cbr\u003e \"Parasite\" has resonated globally for good reason. It tells a story you could probably understand without subtitles or any dialogue; the faces of these actors clearly demonstrate what it's like to be an outsider in a world of wealth and privilege.\u003cbr\u003e —Time\u003cbr\u003e 📖 Celebrity Recommendation: To those who haven't seen this movie yet, I'm going to tell you that it's boring. All I can say is, \"Go see it!\" All I can say is, \"It's hilarious!\" Anyway, I hope you'll go see it. \u003cbr\u003eHirokazu Kore-eda's \"Parasite\" is incredibly representative of the current landscape. It possesses all the qualities necessary to win awards. I have no problem winning awards, and I really enjoy it. I was struck by its minimalist approach to genre expression. This film, seemingly minimal, yet it utilizes genre techniques to the utmost. I've seen it four or five times.\u003cbr\u003e —— Wen Muye, the director of \"Dying to Survive\", takes the audience through different genres in an unexpected way in \"Parasite\". With humorous and efficient narrative techniques, he tells a topic that is closely related to each of us, urgent and heart-wrenching, and has global universality in such a localized film.\u003cbr\u003e — Alejandro González Iñárritu, the director of “The Revenant” The word “masterpiece” is insufficient, “Parasite” is a destination for modern cinema. As a director, I feel a huge pressure: does a movie have to be this interesting? \u003cbr\u003e—Ryusuke Hamaguchi. \"Day and Night\" captures the filth of society and the absurdity of humanity without a didactic touch, amidst the thrill and excitement of a blindfolded race through the dark. I was simply captivated by the power of such elegant depiction. I was laughing as I watched, but upon realizing it, I was horrified by the chilling impact. With extreme perversion, utter cruelty (the highest praise!), and yet a touch of tenderness, Director Bong's gaze is upon the unvarnished \"dignity of humanity.\" I imagine I'll continue to chase the giant figure looming in the distance.\u003cbr\u003e —Lee Sang-il, the director of \"Rage,\" has transcended cinema with \"Parasite.\" Writing, sculpture, painting, architecture... Director Bong Joon-ho, who always sees the world from the underground, has become a modern-day Michelangelo with this film. It's hard to accept this; the only one who can surpass him is himself. \u003cbr\u003e—— Junji Sakamoto, director of \"Canary of the North\"📖 Film awards record★ Palme d'Or at the 72nd Cannes International Film Festival★ Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film at the 92nd Academy Awards★ Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Golden Globe Awards★ Best Foreign Language Film at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Screenplay★ The 72nd Writers Guild of America Awards for Best Original Screenplay★ The 54th National Society of Film Critics Awards for Best Picture and Best Screenplay★ The 45th Los Angeles Society of Film Critics Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor★ The 85th New York Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Foreign Language Film★ The 45th French Cesar Awards for Best Foreign Language Film★ The 65th Italian David Award for Best Foreign Language Film★ Audience Award at the 49th Rotterdam International Film Festival★ Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Art Direction at the 14th Asian Film Awards★ Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction at the 40th Blue Dragon Film Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction★ 56th Baeksang Arts Awards Best Film★ 56th Daejong Awards Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score★ 94th Film Junpo Awards Best Foreign Film, Best Foreign Director★ 63rd Japan Film Blue Ribbon Awards Best Foreign Film★ 44th Japan Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film","brand":"海峡文艺出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242186461423,"sku":"9787555022251","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/11cd0hcVlZ7RZxqShzLFQfvtrBLTIrojP.jpg?v=1738972487"},{"product_id":"论瓦格纳与马勒-9787208175976","title":"On Wagner and Mahler","description":"This book compiles two important works on the aesthetics of music by Adorno, one of the world's most influential philosophers, sociologists, and musicologists of the mid-20th century: Wagner and Mahler: An Aspect of Music. The former is Adorno's first work on the aesthetics of music, while the latter belongs to his later years. As a highly controversial and illuminating work of aesthetic criticism, Wagner is essential reading for anyone interested in appreciating and understanding Wagner's work. Its incisive prose transcends the boundaries between music and society, humanity, and culture. In Adorno's writing, the greatest composer of the 19th century is neither a saint nor a genius, but rather an artistic \"case\": a revolutionary, a fugitive, a bourgeois artist steeped in decadent habits, \"bowed before fate.\" Through this work, Adorno both exposes and redeems Wagner. Through Wagner, he directly addresses the ills of 19th-century German society while attempting to identify within it the seeds of the modern cultural industry. In Mahler, Adorno offered the highest praise for Mahler, his most admired musical master. Using his keen ear, he meticulously broke down the complex and vast Mahler symphonies, recounting them piece by piece for his readers. It was this booklet that rekindled interest in Mahler, then relatively unknown in the composing world, fifty years after his death, ultimately leading to his recognition as a world-class master. \u003cbr\u003eWith his encyclopedic talent, keen insight into human nature, and profound musical appreciation, Adorno paints a portrait of German Romantic music. I hope readers will find themselves blasting Wagner and Mahler as they explore this book, letting Adorno's beautiful words guide their thoughts and journey into the wondrous world of music.","brand":"上海人民出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242186625263,"sku":"9787208175976","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1A-HgXKeAcTgErvrh7un9nY5GiRf3EwUm.jpg?v=1738972491"},{"product_id":"导演-9787555025931","title":"director","description":"Recommended by the Directors Guild of America, this definitive guide to directing has been read by generations of Hollywood filmmakers. \"He made the greatest films that Kubrick never did,\" highly recommended by renowned directors like Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg. The director of 12 Angry Men and Murder on the Orient Express, and an Oscar winner, has penned a 50-year, hands-on guide to 45 films. \"Only by making a film yourself can you truly know the truth!\" \u003cbr\u003eEditor's Recommendation: Sidney Lumet, born into a stage family, performed on Broadway at a young age and later became a sought-after television director. After accumulating experience in hundreds of TV series, he made his debut in the film industry with a stunning success, winning the Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear for \"12 Angry Men.\" He quickly rose to the top of the Hollywood pyramid, averaging a film per year and continuously creating classics in film history: \"Murder on the Orient Express,\" \"Dog Day's Afternoon,\" \"Network\"...\u003cbr\u003e In the book \"Director\", this \"artist who sees himself as a craftsman\" tells his story and shares his creative experience and work philosophy without reservation - enjoying work, and defending his artistic ideals with all his strength while complying with all business rules. \u003cbr\u003eSince its first publication in 1996, this book has been considered a must-read classic by filmmakers worldwide and remains in the top 1% of Amazon's bestsellers.

Throughout his career, Lumet collaborated with perhaps more top-tier actors than any other director. These superstars were willing to work for minimal pay in his films, a testament to his ability to build a deep trust with their actors, often unleashing their own magic and delivering peak performances. In this book, Lumet unabashedly reveals the hidden world of acting, lovingly depicting the courage it takes for actors to \"expose themselves,\" and the heartwarming stories of directors and actors working side-by-side through challenges. \u003cbr\u003eA moving, emotional film-set retelling: Debunking the myth of the \"paranoid\" director, revealing how gentle leaders foster unity, mutual trust, and mutual achievement, ultimately creating a masterpiece. The writing is candid and warm, radiating kindness, respect, and understanding. Synopsis: What kind of story deserves to be made into a film? How can actors maintain emotional sincerity even after countless repetitions? How can you film a gunfight in downtown New York City, involving hundreds of extras and multiple car collisions? How does a director keep the crew united under immense pressure? \u003cbr\u003eThe renowned director Lumet takes us on set, capturing the entire process from first rehearsal to wrap, all in one take. This memoir offers candid recounting of the artist's creative life and stories of working on set with Hollywood's biggest stars (from Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, to Al Pacino). It's also a comprehensive guidebook for directors, offering clear, efficient, and transferable working methods and the practical wisdom of a seasoned director in facing unexpected situations.\u003cbr\u003e ★ Excerpts of wonderful content ○ Only the art form of film uses \"people\" to record things that are greater than life.\u003cbr\u003e I know there are still many young people in this world who borrow money from relatives or save their own allowances to buy their first camera and create their first student film. Some of them dream of becoming famous and making a fortune. But there are still some who dream of finding what truly matters to them, of being able to say to themselves and anyone who will listen, \"I care.\" \u003cbr\u003eI once asked Akira Kurosawa why he always framed the film in a certain way while shooting Ran. He replied, \"If I had panned the camera an inch to the left, we would have filmed the Sony factory. If I had panned it an inch to the right, we would have filmed an airport. Neither of those things should have appeared in this period film.\" Only those who actually make films understand why they make such decisions, and each decision affects the final film.\u003cbr\u003e ○ I am not the kind of believer who has to wait for the so-called \"great\" script to become a \"masterpiece\".\u003cbr\u003e Many French directors constantly complain about the lack of screenwriters. It's all because of this ridiculous \"auteur theory\" that makes directors so omnipotent that most self-respecting screenwriters would naturally refuse to participate in such films. \u003cbr\u003eThe instrument an actor uses is himself—his emotions, his look, his sensuality, his tears, his laughter, his anger, his romance, his tenderness, his wickedness—all of which are presented to everyone on the big screen. This is by no means easy; in fact, it's often painful.\u003cbr\u003e I don't want a life that's replicated on the big screen. I want a life that's created. The difference between the two lies in the degree to which the actor exposes himself.\u003cbr\u003e If this kind of self-exposure caused such distress to actors like Paul Newman, imagine how much more distressing it must have been for actresses, who were not only expected to make the same kind of self-exposure but also treated like sexual commodities.\u003cbr\u003e Actors have a right to privacy; I would never deliberately dig into their personal experiences or intrude on their privacy. Some directors do that. There's no right or wrong here... If we can't achieve the look I want technically, then so be it. We'll always find another way that's just as effective. \u003cbr\u003eMany celebrity makeup artists and hairstylists unknowingly erode the stars' willpower, gradually forcing them to become dependent on them. This creates certain dangers: on the one hand, it costs a fortune with virtually no visible effects on the big screen; on the other hand, it creates a powerful sense of entitlement among celebrities, a feeling that even this seemingly meaningless effort can undermine their work.\u003cbr\u003e Brando would secretly test the director within a day or two of filming. He would give you two seemingly identical takes. The only difference was that in one, he would act spontaneously from the heart; in the other, he would just symbolically play \"this is the emotion.\" He would then see which one you chose. If the director chose the wrong one, the one that was \"superficial,\" he would know.\u003cbr\u003e Critics talk about style as something separate from the film because they want it to be obvious. The reason they need to make it obvious is because they don't actually see it. \u003cbr\u003e○ Good style is not the style that is seen directly, but the style that is felt.\u003cbr\u003e No critic could recognize the stylistic aspects of The Prince of the City—it's one of the most stylized films I've ever made. But Kurosawa did. The most thrilling moment of my career was when Kurosawa spoke to me about the \"beauty of the camerawork\" and \"the beauty of the cinematography\" of the film.\u003cbr\u003e ○ The more limited and specific the choices, the more universal the results will become.\u003cbr\u003e Self-deception is absolutely essential to any kind of creative work. Creative work is so difficult that some degree of self-deception is necessary just to get started.\u003cbr\u003e Only three people know whether an edit is good or bad: the editor, the director, and the cinematographer.\u003cbr\u003e Commercial success has nothing to do with the quality of a film. Good films can be huge hits, and good films can flop. Bad films can make money, and bad films can lose money. The truth is, no one really knows what kind of film will make or lose money. \u003cbr\u003eFilmmaking is all about fighting. I've fought for the script, I've fought for the right actors, I've fought the scorching heat in the middle of the desert, I've fought exhaustion, I've fought British rules for extras. And now I'm fighting over a stupid commercial.\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Celebrity Recommendation: Lumet made a great film that Kubrick never did. What amazes me is that his style is so diverse, yet he still has that core of Kubrick.\u003cbr\u003e - Christopher Nolan If every director is required to share his creative process, the definition of film will be taken to a higher level. Today, Sidney Lumet, one of the greatest directors in Hollywood history, is willing to share his views with us so sincerely. It is a great honor for all of us. \u003cbr\u003e—Steven Spielberg When this book came out, I ordered it immediately, in hardcover. I was in film school at the time, a hefty expense for a student (and I was broke). I devoured it over the weekend, digesting the stories about Dog Day Afternoon and 12 Angry Men. Lumet's reflections on his career are astonishingly clear, honest, and precise, with a wealth of wisdom about directing and filmmaking. Even though I had only made a few short student films at the time, I resonated with the challenges he described and applied what he taught.\u003cbr\u003e —Darren Aronofsky Priceless… From time to time, people ask me if there is a book for movie lovers that can help them understand how movies are made and what to look for when watching movies. This is it!\u003cbr\u003e —Roger Ebert Everyone must read this. \u003cbr\u003e—David Bordwell \"Sidney is a master of film... His books are like his films—honest, heartfelt, vibrant, and very, very witty. Anyone interested in film should read this.\"\u003cbr\u003e —David Mamet A master's film bible. It details every step of the filmmaking process. You'll feel like you're on the set. And that's a must.\u003cbr\u003e --Quincy Jones, the most influential musician in Hollywood◎ Media recommendation As an artist, Lumet shows admirable generosity in this book. He never seeks personal honors, but is always a patient collaborator and mentor, very happy to pass on his wisdom to readers - this also gives the book an extremely practical quality, making it an ideal learning tool that filmmakers dream of. \u003cbr\u003eLegendary director Lumet, a member of the Directors Guild of America, didn't view filmmaking as a black art, so he readily shared his secrets. He was not only a visual master but also a master craftsman, believing that clear, efficient control of the set, allowing production to flow seamlessly, enabled the creative team to achieve their best. He conveyed his ideas with a wealth of shot examples, workflows, and practical templates.\u003cbr\u003e ——New York Film Academy What Lumet writes in this book is the mystery of the art of narrative itself.\u003cbr\u003e —The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e Absolutely brilliant! Lumet's memoir, like his other works, is both majestic and moving.\u003cbr\u003e —Los Angeles Times\u003cbr\u003e Powerful, passionate, and intelligent... This book is so compelling precisely because Lumet speaks passionately and opinionatedly about things on which he has a right to express his opinions.\u003cbr\u003e —Stanley Kaufman, The New Republic \u003cbr\u003eLumet has written a captivating memoir that conveys the joy he felt in his own work, the immense pleasure he took in filmmaking… Even though this book offers only a concise and accessible account of how films are made by an experienced craftsman, it is still rich in the technical aspects of filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e —The Baltimore Sun","brand":"海峡文艺出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242187215087,"sku":"9787555025931","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1RXlg4-6FfjJaLNJ2e3dC7YF2o5Jj1oPQ.jpg?v=1738972502"},{"product_id":"空间的诗学-9787532761913","title":"The Poetics of Space","description":"First published in 1957, this book explores architecture from a phenomenological and symbolic perspective, amidst the suffocating atmosphere of late modernist architectural culture.

These are not involuntary tears that break down protective walls, not the spontaneous expression of personal emotion, but dramatic, performative tears, \"canned tears\" (like the canned laughter on a television show) that regain distance, or, as the ancient Roman poets put it, \"lacrimae rerum\" (\"all sins, all things pitiable\"), tears shed openly for the Other, when we no longer care for (or even hate) the deceased we are mourning.

He employs Marx, Freud, and Lacan to offer a dazzling interpretation and cross-examination of Kieslowski's films.\u003cbr\u003e Like all his books, The Terror of Real Tears combines controversy and rigor, wit and insight.
