An essential work of twenty-first-century cinema, Alfonso Cuaron' s 2004 film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is an elegant exemplar of contemporary cinematic trends, including serial storytelling, the rise of the fantasy genre, digital filmmaking, and collaborative authorship. With craft, wonder, and wit, the film captures the most engaging elements of the novel while artfully translating its literary point of view into cinematic terms that expand on the world established in the book series and previous films. In this book, Patrick Keating examines how Cuaron and his collaborators employ cinematography, production design, music, performance, costume, dialogue, and more to create the richly textured world of Harry Potter-a world filtered principally through Harry' s perspective, characterized by gaps, uncertainties, and surprises. Rather than upholding the vision of a single auteur, Keating celebrates Cuaron' s direction as a collaborative achievement that resulted in a family blockbuster layered with thematic insights.
Patrick Keating is a professor of communication at Trinity University in San Antonio, where he teaches courses in film and media studies. He is the author of Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir and The Dynamic Frame: Camera Movement in Classical Hollywood and editor of the essay collection Cinematography.
