Minimal film: the cinematic world reimagined through graphic design, hardcover/matteo civaschi

Description Minimal Film tells the stories of the movies we all know and love--from Alien to Rain Man , Star Wars to Psycho , E.

to Ghost --through the often comically concise pictographic language of Shortology.

Something of an internet craze, Shortology can narrate anything through pictograms.

This has allowed Milan-based graphic designer Matteo Civaschi to isolate the very essence of movie plots, eliminating the superfluous and focusing on the essential.

For example, two white triangles perpendicular to a red field suffice to evoke Dracula .

But even complex or lengthy plots can be reduced to this language, as the inclusion of TV series from Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad attests.

This book serves as a great gift for cinephiles, comedy fans and graphic designers alike.
