| Summary: | This book provides a panorama of international motion pictures shot on location in Austria's once imperial capitol, Vienna. The volume will contain informative reviews of 46 film scenes and evocative essays about key themes, ideas and historical periods that for the first time examines Vienna's relationship to cinema outside the waltz fantasies shot in the studios of Hollywood, London, Paris, Berlin...and Vienna. The book will be illustrated with scene specific screen-grabs, and images of these locations as they currently appear, as well as city maps that include location information for investigating "cinematic Vienna." Scene reviews, theme specific essays and illustrations will reveal a Vienna at the crossroads of a turbulent history, as a source of great music and literature, and as a site of world-famous architecture raging from gothic cathedrals and baroque palaces to Jugendstil (Vienna's art nouveau) and landmark early modern experiments, to the eco-challenges of the postmodern. |
