Focusing mainly on early films, \u003ci\u003ePolitics as Form in Lars von Trier \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies recurring formal elements in von Trier's oeuvre and discusses the formal complexity of his films under the rubric of the post-Brechtian. Through an in depth formal analysis, the book shows that Brecht is more important to von Trier's work than what most critics seem to acknowledge and deems von Trier as a dialectical filmmaker. This study draws on many untranslated resources and features an interview with Lars von Trier, and another one with his mentor - the great Danish director J rgen Leth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngelos Koutsourakis \u003c\/b\u003eis a post-doctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Modernism Studies in Australia, University of New South Wales, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710456688947,"sku":"9781501307690","price":87.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/VXM4ZWlyczdrTDVzWFNTS1ZTSWdZZz09.webp?v=1763492565","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/politics-as-form-in-lars-von-trier-a-post-brechtian-reading-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
