The third in the series, Close-Up 03 is a collection of three individual studies specialising in close readings of films and TV. This issue features pieces by Jonathan Bignell (University of Reading) on 'The Police Series', which closely analyses the mise-en-sc?ne and visual style of TV programmes including Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice, NYPD Blue, Homicide: Life on the Street and CSI; Stella Bruzzi (University of Warwick) on 'Men's Cinema', discussing how film style conveys and articulates notions of masculinity, analysing how mise-en-sc?ne, rather than spectacle alone, shapes a sense of the masculine in films such as Raging Bull (1980) and The Right Stuff (1983); and Iris Luppa (University of Reading) on 'Weimar Cinema' examining three films of this influential era of filmmaking in Germany - Dr Mabuse, the Gambler (1922), People on Sunday (1929) and Kuhle Wampe (1932) - and the complex readings invited by these films.
