Críticas:

"This book addresses a significant aspect of film studies and cultural studies today, namely, how gender is both represented and reconfigured in the artifacts of mass culture. In a myriad of ways, it builds on the important feminist criticism of the seventies and eighties, while at the same time reflecting the overall broadening of focus that occurred in the nineties--away from strictly psychoanalytic approaches and toward a more wide-ranging variety of both formal and sociological concerns." -- Steven Shaviro, author of The Cinematic Body

"From the first words of Pomerance's introduction to his clinching essay on the fortunes of Psycho, this book reads with foe and wit. It speaks not only to issues of gender or sexuality, but more directly--and compellingly--to the present state of cinema in a phase of globalization." -- Tom Conley, Harvard University

Reseña del editor:

Boy-girls of Hong Kong cinema; the on-screen modesty of revolutionary Iran; and New Hollywood's treatment of homosexuality, female power, and male intellectuality are among the topics examined by film scholars. They analyze films by Ridley Scott, David Cronenberg, Jim Jarmusch, Woody Allen, Rakhsan Banietamad, Kathryn Bigelow, Bertrand Tavernier, Roman Polanksi, and others. Annotation c.
