Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Film Science, grade: 65%, Birkbeck, University of London, course: MA World Cinema, language: English, abstract: Postmodernity, despite its connotations with mostly art and architecture is also present within cinematography, revolving and changing the forms of narrative by rebuilding and restructuring onto a new form of expression.
