Book Presentation:
Cet ouvrage, en français et en anglais, propose l'étude d'un large panorama de films où la couleur, et son double, le noir et blanc, jouent un rôle essentiel. La couleur à l'écran reste un domaine de la recherche où l'on rencontre davantage de questions que de réponses. Si l'histoire des débuts de la couleur au cinéma permet de mieux apprécier, tant du point de vue du genre que d'un point de vue esthétique, les discussions approfondies des films qui suivent et qui entrent ainsi en résonance, on gardera toujours présent à l'esprit les liens étroits entre la couleur et le son, en particulier pour la musique, et entre cinéma, peinture et photographie. Ces éléments contextualisent, tout en l'éclairant, l'étude des (en)jeux de la couleur au cinéma.
This book, in French and in English, addresses a wide panorama of films in which colour, and its double, black & white, play an essential part. Colour on screen is still a field of research in which there are more questions than answers. Thus the history of the beginnings of colour in film makes the ensuing discussions which are devoted to specific films engage into a form of dialogue across genres and film aesthetics, while bearing in mind the close links between sound and colour - as in music, as well as those between film, painting and photography. These elements provide a thought-provoking context for the study of colour (inter)play in cinema.
