Quatrième de couverture
"Eleven years separate these lines from the first part of my Poetics of Cinema. Meanwhile the world has changed and cinema with it. Poetics of Cinema1 had much of a call to arms about it. What I write today is rather more of a consolatio philosophica. However, let no one be mistaken about this, a healthy pessimism may be better than a suicidal optimism. "Light, more light", were Goethe's dying words. "Less light, less light", cried Orson Welles repeatedly on a set-the one and only time I saw him. In today's cinema (and in today's world) there is too much light. It is time to return to the shadows. So, about turn! And back to the caverns!"
Following his research in Poetics of Cinema1 on new narrative models as tools for apprehending a rapidly shifting world, Raul Ruiz with Poetics of Cinema2 makes an appeal for an entirely new way of filming, writing, and of conceiving the image.
