Book Synopsis Hollywood's Egyptian Dreams. The Visual Language, Concepts and Costumes in Egyptian Monumental Films by : Marie Elisabeth Habicht
Book excerpt: Monumental films strongly shape our image of the ancient world today. Shortly after the emergence of cinematic art, Ancient Egypt also became the subject of cinematic works. As with the Roman film, the decisive story plots and motifs were still being developed in the silent film era and have had a significant influence on subsequent generations of films. The book examines the visual language, plot concepts and costumes of the most expensive film genre. An extensive list of films is analysed and related to contemporary findings on the dress and jewellery of Ancient Egypt.
