Examining the centrality of dialogue to American independent cinema, Jennifer O'Meara argues that it is impossible to separate small budgets from the old adage that "talk is cheap". Focusing on the 1980s until the present, particularly on the films by writer-directors like Jim Jarmusch, NoahBaumbach and Richard Linklater, this book demonstrates dialogue's ability to engage audiences and bind together the narrative, aesthetic and performative elements of selected cinema. Questioning the association of dialogue-centred films with the "literary" and the "un-cinematic", O'Meara highlightshow speech in independent cinema can instead hinge on what is termed "cinematic verbalism": when dialogue is designed and executed in complex, medium-specific ways. | Engaging Dialogue by Jennifer O'Meara, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
