Journal Article
“Do you want this world left on?”: Global Imaginaries in the Films of Michael Winterbottom
2009
Overview
This article reads the stylistics of films by Michael Winterbottom in the light of several models of globalization. The first section assesses how Winterbottom's mise-en-scène itself generates mappings of the current globalized world that have both progressive and reactionary valencies. The next section adjusts the formalist focus to soundtrack, and explores the implications of use of a globally diffuse music — and multilingual dialogue — in these films. Finally, the article reviews the adequacy of Winterbottom's cross-cutting as an editing response to the multiplicities and inequalities of contemporary globalization.
