Baschiera, StefanoCaoduro, Elena2018-09-262018-09-262015https://www.necsus-ejms.org/test/retro-faux-vintage-and-anachronism-when-cinema-looks-back/https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/3385This article explores the definition of ‘vintage cinema’ and specifically re-evaluates the fetishism for the past and its regurgitation in the present by providing a taxonomy of the phenomenon in recent film production. Our contribution identifies three aesthetic categories: faux-vintage, retro and anachronistic; by illustrating their overlapping and discrepancies it argues that the past remains a powerful negotiator of meaning for the present and the future. Drawing on studies of memory and digital nostalgia, this article focuses on the latter category: anachronism. It furthermore unravels the persistence of and the filmic fascination for obsolete analogue objects through an analysis of ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE (Jim Jarmusch, 2013).engAnachronismusFetischismusNostalgieObsoleszenzvintageanachronismanaloguefetishismnostalgiaobsolescencevintage791Jim Jarmusch10.5117/NECSUS2015.2.BASC10.25969/mediarep/15202ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE2213-0217
