Summary: | One of the seminal works on cinematic transcendence in today's generation was Paul Schrader's 1972 Transcendental Style in Film. After that, the young film scholar went on to write and direct prodigiously, some might say profligately, over the next three decades, manifesting his theories in his body of work in a way reminiscent of French New Wave cineastes, and his recent screenplay, Bring Out the Dead, is a textbook case of his transcendental style, as he continues his career-long struggle with the Calvinist goads and rewards that so shaped his worldview. Hamilton details more on Schrader's writing and directing style. |
