Under modernity, time is regarded as linear and measurable by clocks and calendars. Despite the historicity of clock-time itself, the modern concept of time is considered universal and culturally neutral. What Walter Benjamin called "homogeneous, empty time" founds the modern notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded. In Translating Time, Bliss Cua Lim argues that fantastic cinema depicts the coexistence of other modes of being alongside and within the modern present, disclosing multiple "immiscible temporalities" that strain against the modern concept of homogeneous time. In this wide-ranging study-encompassing Asian American video (On Cannibalism), ghost films from the New Cinema movements of Hong Kong and the Philippines (Rouge, Itim, Haplos), Hollywood remakes of Asian horror films (Ju-on, The Grudge, A Tale of Two Sisters) and a Filipino horror film cycle on monstrous viscera
A.I. Artificial Intelligence : From Stanley Kubrick to Steven Spielberg: The Vision Behind the Film (9780500514894)
A.I.Artificial Intelligence was the extraordinary collaboration of two cinematic giants, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. The book reveals how the project originated, how it was developed and how it was finally brought to fruition. At the heart of the book are over 250 stunning images by the film's conceptual artist, Chris Baker, many never before seen. Commissioned by Kubrick, conceived in response to A.I. story outlines and used in Spielberg's eventual production designs, these artworks display a breathtaking imagination and rare technical skill. Accompanying the drawings are extracts from Kubrick's notebooks and story treatments, stills from the finished film, and photographs of behind-the-scenes action, including pioneering animatronics and use of the `virtual studio'. This book - a work of art as well as painstaking research - is one that no film fan will want to be without.
