Contemporary Cinema

"Contemporary Cinema is a major study of key developments in the cinema of the last thirty years. Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. Poetic cinemas are seen as creating a distinctive match in their own cultures between critical social engagement and the delirium of form."--Jacket.

First sentence: Scorsese recalls that in 1960 New York film students were divided over the respective merits of La Dolce Vita and L'avventura.
