Michael Mann's Public Enemies, a motion picture chronicling the last adventures of John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) in the golden era of bank robbery, was met with a muted response in 2009. Tersely structured and boldly shot in high-definition cinematography, Mann's elegiac romance, on closer examination, formally ties the Hollywood gangster genre to the medium, binding the cultural and technological issues of its 1930s setting with the evolving digital template of its release, with America's last frontier criminal folk-heroes in flight from a new matrix of control developed by J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup). In Off the Map, Niles Schwartz not only immerses us into Public Enemies, but relates it to Mann's contemporary cyberthriller Blackhat (2015), in which the cybernetic systems of control have colonized tactile firmament of our everyday lives. Mann's HD spectacles reflect back onto how the audience experiences images on everything from grand movie screens to smart phones. The space between the viewer and the screen becomes a sanctuary of spiritual reflection and development, as much as escapism.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A motion picture chronicling the last adventures of bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), Public Enemies was met with much bafflement upon its 2009 release. Director Michael Mann's terse storytelling and unorthodox use of high-definition digital cameras challenged viewers' familiarity with Hollywood's historical gangland elegance while highlighting Public Enemies' own place in a medium--and culture--undergoing sweeping technological change. In Off the Map, Niles Schwartz immerses us in Mann's representation of Dillinger, a subject increasingly aware of his own role as a romanticized frontier folk hero, in flight from an enveloping bureaucratic system. The cultural issues of Dillinger's 1930s anticipate the 21st century watershed moment for the moving image, as our relationship with the pictures surrounding us increasingly affects our own sense of identity, historical truth, and means of relating to each other. Mann's follow-up, the hacker thriller Blackhat (2015), reflects a world where Public Enemies' abstract surveillance state has since colonized the firmament of our everyday lives. Yet in this virtual labyrinth of surplus images, cinema may inwardly illuminate a transformative path for us. Off the Map places Mann's late works in deep focus, exploring our present relationship to cinema on a backdrop that swings from the blockbuster spectacle of Avatar to the curious intimacy of Moonrise Kingdom, ultimately suggesting the mysterious space between the viewer and the screen may yet become a sanctuary of deep spiritual reflection.
