She goes on, as emerging auteur, to direct her own \"musical concepts\" in \u003ci\u003eA Star Is Born\u003c\/i\u003e-before reconceiving the big-screen musical altogether in the writing as well as directing of her own starring role in \u003ci\u003eYentl\u003c\/i\u003e (\"A Film with Music\"). In this intensive reading of the \"actress-who-sings,\" Garrett Stewart notes the gender and ethnic stereotypes that Streisand shattered as the first openly Jewish superstar, while concentrating not just on the cultural difference she made but on the internal differentials of her unholy vocal gift-whose kinetic volatility shapes a kind of cinematic terrain all its own. Down through her filmed return to the concert stage, Stewart elicits the sinuous phonetic text of Streisand's on-screen musical delivery in a keenly attentive mode of audition that puts into fresh perspective the indelible aura of her stardom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarrett Stewart, a professor of literature and cinema, is the author of many books, including four on film, most recently \u003ci\u003eCinemachines: An Essay on Media and Method\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 29, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52434784878899,"sku":"9780814349090","price":161.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RVFCYXI3a2pvNUhGZDNiMnRwUmlvQT09.webp?v=1758805411","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/streisand-the-mirror-of-difference-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
