{"product_id":"9781623561338","title":"Politics as Form in Lars von Trier: A Post-Brechtian Reading","description":"This is the first study that employs a materialist framework to discuss the political implications of form in the films of Lars von Trier. Focusing mainly on early films, \u003ci\u003ePolitics as Form in Lars von Trier \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies recurring formal elements in von Trier's oeuvre and discusses the formal complexity of his films under the rubric of the post-Brechtian. Through an in depth formal analysis, the book shows that Brecht is more important to von Trier's work than most critics acknowledge and deems von Trier a dialectical filmmaker. This study draws on many untranslated resources and features interviews with Lars von Trier and his mentor, the great Danish director Jørgen Leth.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135962628336,"sku":"9781623561338","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781623561338_p0.jpg?v=1763862867","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781623561338","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
