Beyond Realism: Naturalist Film in Theory and Practice is a groundbreaking critical study of international naturalist cinema, often mistaken for realist film. With a rich cultural and critical history, naturalist cinema spans the entire history of film, encompassing language, movement, and genre. It is based on two foundational paradigms that intersect to form an ideological system within a broader scientific and social experimental narrative. While the scientific or social paradigm may be dominant in the film narrative, they can also co-exist, revealing both templates and an implicit cinematic anthropology that treats the body as an observed spectacle. This unique approach to film has been explored in various films, from silent films like Walsh's Regeneration (1915) and Eisenstein's Stachka/Strike (1925) to recent productions like Chukwus Clemency (2019) and Aronofsky's The Whale (2022).
