Although their films differ greatly - Godard produces highly cerebral and theoretical works while Bertolucci creates films with more spectacle and emotionalism - their careers have sparked lively discussion and debate, mostly centred around the notion of an Oedipal struggle between them. The Radical Faces of Godard and Bertolucci, however, provides new insights into their relationship by specifically addressing their influences upon each other. This careful analysis of their films pays special attention to the more recent and often critically neglected films, and locates their work within the cultural critiques of feminism, postmodernism and multiculturalism. Yosefa Lushitzky argues that in Godard's most recent films, he traded Marxism for mysticism.  In probing his shift toward a new religiosity in Passion, Carmen and Hail Mary, she discovers that sexuality is no longer linked here to the world of prostitution, consumption and pornography, as it had been in his previous films, but to the world of nature, the universe and cosmic contemplation. Like Godard, Bertolucci also evolved in the 1980s; he became skeptical of Western thought and pursued the East as a utopia, as reflected in films like The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky and Little Buddha. The Radical Faces of Godard and Bertolucci traces the careers of two brilliant filmmakers from their Marxist beginnings to their quasi-religious quest for spiritual rejuvenation, thus providing a reinterpretation of the directors and their films.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50162759762193,"sku":"CIN0814324479VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361527730449,"sku":"CIN0814324479A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814324479.jpg?v=1751170625"},{"product_id":"screening-strangers-book-yosefa-loshitzky-9780253221827","title":"Screening Strangers","description":"Yosefa Loshitzky challenges the utopian notion of a post-national \"New Europe\" by focusing on the waves of migrants and refugees that some view as a potential threat to European identity, a concern heightened by the rhetoric of the war on terror, the London Underground bombings, and the riots in Paris's banlieues. Opening a cinematic window onto this struggle, Loshitzky determines patterns in the representation and negotiation of European identity in several European films from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including Bernardo Bertolucci's Besieged, Stephen Frears's Dirty Pretty Things, Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine, and Michael Winterbottom's In This World, Code 46, and The Road to Guantanamo.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50899294945553,"sku":"GOR011844079","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000576737553,"sku":"NIN9780253221827","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53474234892561,"sku":"GOR010952252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/025322182X.jpg?v=1763224224"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-yosefa-loshitzky.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
