Norton describes how these filmmakers structure their characters’ lifeworlds via moments grounded by chance and multiplicity, each having the potential to lift the opaque veil of inwardness. Experienced in their immediacy, these moments offer the viewer glimpses of a character’s potential individuation. As such, they embody the difficult, private, and perhaps even incommunicable choices made in the midst of self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLived Moments\u003c\/em\u003e deepens our understanding of the history of cinematic modernism, throwing new light on the canonical movements of Neorealism and the New Wave while also demonstrating the importance of lived moments for cinema more broadly. The book stands as a model of how film analysis and film philosophy can be symbiotic rather than separate ways of thinking about cinematic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55216085434742,"sku":"9780228023555","price":96.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39540939.jpg?v=1772037078","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780228023555-lived-moments","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
