Many of these reviews, compiled here for the first time, have a societal focus and are concerned with what the films reveal or reflect about the societies in which they were produced. They recognise, however, the aesthetic and social dimensions of film and do not neglect such matters as performance, editing and style. Throughout these reviews are discussions of images, symbolism, techniques employed by directors and genre analyses. This collection explores and is concerned with the sociopolitical and aesthetic impact of this art form and its effect on such topics as socialization, technology, racism, and sexuality. Readers will find reviews by sociologists, psychologists, pyschiatrists, political scientists and others- each offering illuminating insights and revealing analyses of these important films. An introduction by the editor focuses on the different techniques used in analyzing films. Important stills from many of the films are also included. This book will stimulate the scholar, the student, and the layman interested in film and the society behind and reflected in the films.
