Description
Summary:I analyze the concepts of theatre and film in Michael Fried's "Art and Objecthood" (1967), in order to argue for a cinematic theatricality immune to the anti-theatrical prejudice often found in works about the intersection of these two art forms. Given the tangential place of movies in Fried's article, other texts are used (mostly from the same period and mainly from the Cahiers du Cinéma tradition) to deconstruct Fried's idea of film so that a new concept can emerge. Two scenes, one from Godard and the other from Tsai Ming-liang, are used to illustrate the proposed theatricality.
