Edward Buscombe provides an illuminating guide to a hundred key films of the genre, from Broken Arrow to The Wild Bunch by way of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, A Fistful of Dollars, The Magnificent Seven and The Searchers. Each entry includes a plot synopsis, major credits, and a commentary on the film’s significance, together with its production and exhibition history. Edward Buscombe’s introduction to the volume discusses the criteria for selecting a mere hundred essential Westerns out of the thousands that have been made since the birth of cinema. He considers the relative weight to be attached to the acknowledged great directors of the genre, such as John Ford and Sam Peckinpah, and to lesser known but significant figures such as Delmer Daves. He takes stock of the contribution of the great Western stars, including John Wayne, James Stewart and Clint Eastwood. And he argues for a selection that takes into account Westerns of the silent era, B-Westerns and singing cowboys, and those Westerns made outside America. [Taken from back cover.]ISBN: 1844571122

Sofia Coppola : the politics of visual pleasure / Anna Backman Rogers Oxford: Berghahn Books, [2019].
Call No: 81COP BACAuthor: Backman Rogers, Anna Source: USPlace: New York; OxfordPublisher: Berghahn BooksPubDate: [2019]PhysDes: 177 pages : illustrations ; 23 cmSubject: WOMEN, FILMS MADE BY ; WOMEN AND THE CINEMA ; WOMEN DIRECTORS ; WOMEN IN FILMS ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA ; CRITICISM ; USA ; COPPOLA, SOFIA ; VIRGIN SUICIDES, THE (US, Sofia Coppola, 2000) ; BEGUILED, THE (US, Sofia Coppola, 2017) ; LOST IN TRANSLATION (US, Sofia Coppola, 2003) ; SOMEWHERE (US/UK/IT/JA, Sofia Coppola, 2010) ; MARIE ANTOINETTE (US, Sofia Coppola, 2006) ; BLING RING, THE (US/UK/G/FR, Sofia Coppola, 2013) Summary: "All too often, the movies of Sofia Coppola have been dismissed as "all style, no substance." But such an easy caricature, as this engaging and accessible survey of Coppola's oeuvre demonstrates, fundamentally misconstrues what are rich, ambiguous, meaningful films. Drawing on insights from feminist philosophy and psychology, the author here takes an original approach to Coppola, exploring vital themes from the subversion of patriarchy in The Virgin Suicides to the "female gothic" in The Beguiled. As Rogers shows, far from endorsing a facile and depoliticized postfeminism, Coppola's films instead deploy beguilement, mood, and pleasure in the service of a robustly feminist philosophy." - taken from back cover.ISBN: 9781785339752Contents: Introduction : the surface of the image is political -- Part I. Imaging absence as abjection and imaging the female gothic as rage. Chapter 1. The Virgin Suicides (1999) -- Chapter 2. The Beguiled (2017) -- Part II. Empty subjectivities and masculinity as void. Chapter 3. Lost in Translation (2003) -- Chapter 4. Somewhere (2010) -- Part III. The female body as patriarchal currency and the commodification of female identity. Chapter 5. Marie Antoinette (2006) -- Chapter 6. The Bling Ring (2013) -- Conclusion : On Beguilement.
