Wittgenstein

Viac o knihe

Derek Jarman's film "Wittgenstein" articulates the themes of this major 20th-century philosopher. Channel 4 television commissioned literary critic Terry Eagleton to write a television play which was eventually filmed by Derek Jarman. This illustrated book includes both the original screenplay & Jarman's very different shooting script. It also contains reflections on Wittgenstein, film & the problems of biography by both Derek Jarman & Terry Eagleton. Terry Eagleton is Britain's most influential radical literary critic. He's been a fellow of four Oxford & Cambridge colleges, & is presently Thomas Warton Professor of English Literature at Oxford. Derek Jarman was both a major film-maker & artist, a gay activist & an English patriot. Caravaggio & Blue were both acclaimed feature films. "An imaginative & serious attempt to render its subject's life in form & color."--The New Republic
