She interviewed seventy-six people - from Peter Jackson to fan webmasters to producers of the video games to directors of the DVD supplements to tour operators in New Zealand, among many others. She spent weeks on site while the third part of the trilogy was being finished - the ultimate inside vantage point - and the resulting book captures the full dimensions of the struggle to get Rings to the screen."
"Thompson examines the movie's scripting and design as well as the new technologies deployed to produce the films and the all-important videogames and DVDs. She recounts how Jackson, then a little-known director with no hits to his credit, made the startling suggestion of shooting all three epic parts of J. R. R.Tolkien's classic simultaneously and how Jackson then, in realizing his vision, enormously expanded a few small companies into a world-class filmmaking complex. She profiles the fans whose websites provided the film with a wealth of free publicity. Thompson's own enthusiasm - she is a longtime devotee of the novels - and her expertise as a respected film historian underlie her discussion of the impact Rings has had on the companies that made the film and its related products, on the fantasy genre, on New Zealand, and, surprisingly, on independent cinema."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes bibliographic references and indexISBN: 9780520247741Language: EnglishContents: Introduction : sequel-itis -- Pt. 1.

She has received numerous accolades including an Academy Award and two Golden Globes, and in 2004 became the first ever American woman to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar. From 'The Virgin Suicides' to 'The Bling Ring', her work carves out new spaces for the expression of female subjectivity that embraces rather than rejects femininity. Fiona Handyside here considers the careful counter-balance of vulnerability with the possibilities and pleasures of being female in Coppola's films - albeit for the white and the privileged - through their recurrent themes of girlhood, fame, power, sex and celebrityISBN: 9781784537159Contents: Machine generated contents note: 1.Sofia Coppola: Postfeminist [d]au[gh]te[u]r? -- 2.Luminous Girlhoods: Sparkle and Light in Coppola's Films -- 3.`There's No Place Like Home!'

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.
