Summary: "Since cinema's earliest days, literary adaptation has provided the movies with stories. But there is another way of looking at film, and that is through its close relationship with the visual arts. Art history for Filmmakers shows how images from art can be used by filmmakers to establish period detail, and to demonstrate composition, color theory and lighting. It reveals how the visual culture that gave rise to cinema has itself been shaped and informed by the development of painting, the oldest of the art forms.Featuring stunning images from classic films and iconic artwork, this book will build your appreciation of the history of art, enrich your understanding of the visual language of film, and help to feed that understanding into your own original filmmaking" -- BACK COVER BOOK BLURB

Summary: "The turn of the century ushered in a new age, and movie screens nationwide reflected a new vision of female sexual morality. Bad Women takes us back to this period of social, cultural, and economic change to illustrate how American cinema presented images of this new woman to fit an emerging consumer culture of the early 1900s. Although originally designed to reinforce the mores of contemporary society, these new images of "bad women" moved discussions off women and their sexuality to the forefront of the national agenda. Charting the resulting cultural tensions through the monitoring of movies, Janet Staiger shows how representations and their endless permutations stirred conflict and debate over women's public and private behaviours. Rich in historical detail and theoretical insight, Bad Women offers an original view of a culture in transition, a sexual sensibility in the making, and American cinema's role in the change" -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "How do we define the globalized cinema and media cultures of Bollywood in an age when it has become part of the cultural diplomacy of an emerging superpower? Is it still an 'other' industry in a world dominated by American Cinemas? Bollywood and Its Other(s) aims to compensate for the lack of scholarly literature on Bollywood studies by opening up hitherto unexplored sites or sites that are in formation. One of the most comprehensive volumes on Bollywood so far, it focuses on the aesthetic-philosophical questions of the other, Indian diaspora's negotiations with national identity, alternative reading strategies/research methods, marginal genres (sci-fi, horror), marginal characters (flaneuse, vamps), marginal gender (non-normative sexualities), marginal cinema (Hindi avant-garde), marginal language (Hinglish), and marginal regions (the Kashmir valley). It intends to address film scholars, South Asian studies researchers, cinephiles and lay readers alike.- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, The Killers, Wild at Heart, Last Tango in Paris, Vertigo - the names alone evoke dark images of peverse passion and erotic fixation, heartbreak, deception, and love gone terribly wrong. In Cinema of Obsession, noted film scribes Dominique Mainon and James Ursini tackle stories of love and its many dark permutations - the male domination of Phantom of the Opera and The Collector, the star-crossed love stories of Romeo and Juliet and Bonnie and Clyde, the violent female obsession of Mulholland Drive and Fatal Attraction - all of these and dozens more are discussed in depth, analyzed, and dissected. In addition to plot description, character analysis, and commentary, Mainon and Ursini offer psychological profiles of cinema's most infamous and tortured characters. No stone is left unturned in this, the first-ever comprehensive guide to the twisted side of romantic cinema. " -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "'Contemporary cinema' is a major study of key developments in the cinema over the last thirty years. It reworks Pasolini's landmark concept of 'the cinema of poetry' to look at the transformation of film form in its encounter with society, the sacred, the subjective and the presence of the camera. In the 1970s, the influential forms of a cinema of poetry are analysed in key features by Altman, Herzog, Malick, Scorsese, Weir, Von Trotta and Tarkovsky while in the 1980s and 1990s the emergence of new filmmakers has meant a diffusion of different cinemas of poetry using new techniques and new poetries. Of key importance here is the work of Kieslowski, Lynch, Egoyan, Campion, Greenaway, Zhang Yimou, Tran Anh Hung and Wong Kar-Wai, as well as the reinvention of science fiction and film noir in American genre."

Summary: "The Documentary: Politics, Emotion, Culture proposes that emotions such as pleasure, hope, pain, empathy or nostalgia play a powerful role in the circulation and reception of documentaries. Emotion shapes how political issues and individuals are represented and perceived in documentary and it is crucial to how we engage with the vicissitudes of the public sphere. In the past documentary has been popularly perceived in ways that align it with education, science, history and the rational realm. This frame has never been adequate for understanding the broad array of styles and themes that can be seen in the documentary genre. Focusing on the question of subjectivity, Smail analyses various different kinds of individuals that can be found in documentaries, such as the female porn star, the politically disenfranchised, children, and the documentary auteur. She envisages an interdisciplinary approach to documentary drawing on scholarship from not only film studies, but also gender studies, queer theory, cultural theories of affect, critical race studies, political theory and pyschoanalysis.

Summary: With its capacity to defamiliarize and subvert visual representation, sound is not simply a source of information supplementary to the visual in the cinematic representation of sexuality, but a site of ambiguous ideologies and power relations. -- This collection exemplifies a variety of approaches to the sonic representation of sexuality in cinema. It draws on a range of sexual scenarios from pornography to sci-fi to art-house and includes cinema from various cultures and countries. Among the topics addressed are how the deployment of sound is implicated in gender politics in the representation of sexuality and how sounds are able to radically colour and even override the visual and lexical content of a film. -- Through sonicity the film-maker can challenge the ideologies at play underneath surface stereotypes, and introduce emotional overtones which meliorate the alienation generally associated with porn. Sound and music can establish a historical period as well as spatially localize sexuality within a framework that problematizes the distinctions between porn and erotica. They can introduce into the ahistorical sextopia of porn the cultural specificity of the notion of 'pornography' and indeed can shift a film in and out of that category, even desexualizing the naked human body. -- Bruce Johnson is an adjunct professor at Macquarie University, Sydney, and Visiting Professor at the University of Turku, Finland. His many publications in popular music and literary studies include The Oxford Companion to Australian Jazz. --Book Jacket.

Summary: "From Shortbus to Shame and from Oldboy to Irreversible, film festival premieres regularly make international headlines for their schockingly graphic depictions of sex and violence. Film critics and scholars alike often regard these movies as the work of visionary auteurs, hailing directors like Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier as heirs to a tradition of transgressive art. In this provocative new book, Mattias Frey ofers a very different perspective on these films, exposing how they are also calculated products, designed to achieve global notoriety in a competitive marketplace. Extreme Cinema includes original interviews with the programmers of several leading international film festivals and with niche distributors and exhibitors, giving readers a revealing look at how these institutions enjoy a symbiotic relationship with the 'taboo-breakers' of arthouse cinema." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Focusing on the lives and careers of three of the biggest names in Hollywood history – Marilyn Monroe, Paul Robeson and Judy Garland – Dyer details how their screen image was constructed. Through subtle readings of their films and wealth of background material, he goes on to survey the development of each star’s image in relation to particular social groups. Monroe is discussed in the context of 1950s sexuality and the image of woman; Robeson in terms of black identity and different white and black perceptions of it; and Garland as a gay icon. All three are set in the wider context of the social significance of the very idea of stardom.

Summary: 'From sexy thrillers to pulp surrealism, from decadent erotica to blood-soaker vampire epics, nothing could go too far'. Not so much a movie guide as an insightful critical overview of European horror/exploitation/sex films of the 1950s-1980s, this book is organised into a sequence of essays proceeding from general themes (the history of horrific art, the surgical metaphor), to regional styles (Italian, German, French, Spanish), to individual directors (Jesus Franco, Jean Rollin, José Larraz, José Bénazéraf, Walerian Borowczyk, Alain Robbe-Grillet), and provides a consice history covering this unique era. The book includes many photos, original poster art, and a useful appendix covering miscellaneous actors and directors from the genre.

Summary: " During its fourth and final season - for the present - Farscape was the Science Fiction Channel's highest rating original series, and with its dedicated fan-base, Farscape seasons are still top-billing Science Fiction DVDs. Jes Battis offers the first critical reading of Farscape's imaginative worlds and its characters, from Crichton, D'Argo, Zhaan, Rygel, Chiana and Scorpius, to Pilot and Moya herself. He prposes that Farscape is as much about bodies, sex and gender as it is about wormholes, space ships, and interstellar warfare. It is this straddling of of genres that makes the show so viewable to such a broad audience, of which almost half are women. Taking in a diverse spectrum of social issues within SF, including racism, imperialism and inter-species ex, he asks what does it mean to be 'human' or 'alien' within the uncharted territories of Farscape's universe? Who are the anthropologists and who are the extraterrestrials? How does John Crichton, a 'lost' astronaut, discover a new home aboard Moya, and what seperates Crichton from his SF predecessors? This exciting and original book features a detailed Lexicon of Farscape's alien languages. It reveals how the show both parodies and surpasses other SF shows like Star Trek and Babylon 5 and why TV Guide calls it 'one of the sexiest and most irreveerant sci-fi shows on television" -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "B. Ruby Rich designated a brand new genre, the New Queer Cinema (NQC), in her groundbreaking article in the Village Voice in 1992. This movement in film and video was intensely political and aesthetically innovative, made possible by the debut of the camcorder, and driven initially by outrage over the unchecked spread of AIDS. The genre has grown to include an entire generation of queer artists, filmmakers, and activists. As a critic, curator, journalist and scholar, Rich has been inextricably linked to the New Queer Cinema from its inception. This volume brings together the best of her writing on the NQC and features her new thoughts on the topic. Following this cinematic movement from its origins in the mid-1980s to the present, Rich presents her insights into NQC pioneers including Derek Jarman and Isaac Julien; investigates such celebrated films as Go Fish, Brokeback Mountain, Itty Bitty Titty Committee, and Milk; explores less-known films and international cinemas; and documents the more recent incarnations of the NQC on screen, on the web, and in art galleries." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: In this lively and honest account, writer and broadcaster Nell Schofield recalls how she won the role of Debbie and what it was like on the set. She looks at the parallels between the film, the book and her own surfside teenage years, and at the extraordinary responses to the film, both on its release and since. It’s a story as idiosyncratically Australian as the film that showed everyone who ever had any doubt that chicks can surf.

Summary: "This book traces the development of Scandinavian erotic cinema as it evolved in Denmark and Sweden, from the gentle Swedish naturalist films, starting with One Summer of Happiness in the 50s, to the controversial groundbreakers like I Am Curious (Yellow) of the 60s and on through to the dawn of 'Liberated Denmark,' where, in the early 70s, the abolition of censorship was celebrated in films like 24 Hours with Ilse and the production of a number of other films that were blatantly pornographic. Also considered is the influence of these films on other countries, particularly the United States, where Scandinavian erotic cinema helped to set in motion the sexual revolution and contributed to the end of film censorship" -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "For many years, kisses were the only sexual acts to be seen in mainstream American movies. Then, in the 1960s and 1970s, American cinema "grew up" in response to the sexual revolution, and movie audiences came to expect more knowledge about what happened between the sheets. In Screening Sex, film scholar Linda Williams investigates how sex acts have been represented on screen for more than a century and, just as important, how we have watched and experienced those representations." "Combining stories of her own coming of age as a moviegoer with film history, cultural history, and readings of significant films, Williams presents a fascinating history of the on-screen kiss, a look at the shift from adolescent kisses to more grown-up displays of sex, and a comparison of the "tasteful" Hollywood sexual interlude with sexuality as represented in sexploitation, Blaxploitation, and avant-garde films. By understanding screening sex as both revelation and concealment, Williams has written the definitive study of sex at the movies."--BOOK JACKET.

Notes: With full-frontal genitalia, erections, even actual sex featuring increasingly in films, this explicitness in presentation has caused critical consternation and accusations that such film narratives are pornographic. This book explores how, rather than being pornographic, explicit sex can be an essential element of cinematic storytelling today. Offering detailed analysis of how choices are made in the presentation of explicit sex in often very controversial films, such as "Shame", "Baise-Moi", "Antichrist", "Dogtooth" and "Lust, Caution", the expert contributors - including Barbara Creed, Jacob Held and Linda Ruth Williams - show how sexual content can aid characterisation, highlight themes, and provide events that serve to develop plot. The impact of explicit sex as an element of a film's narrative is also revealed to be assisted by effective, nuanced performances and the incisive deployment of directorial technique. Together they detail through the fundamentals of cinema the shot by shot, moment by moment manner in which explicit sex can be an essential component of a dramatically powerful narrative. -- publisher's blurb

Notes: In this provocative study of cinematic and televisual representations of "sex radicalism," Carol Siegel explores how representations of sexually explicit content on film have shaped American cultural visions of sex and sexual politics in the 21st century. Siegel distinguishes between a liberal approach to visual representations, which has over-emphasized normative equal opportunity while undervaluing our distinctive erotic selves, and a radical approach to visual representation, which portrays forbidden sexualities and desires. She illustrates how visual media participates in and even drives political policies related to pedophilia, prostitution, interracial relationships, and war. By examining such popular film and television shows as Mystic River, The Wire, Fifty Shades of Grey, Batman Returns, and the HBO hits, Sex and the City and Girls, Siegel takes the discussion of radical sex in the movies out of the margins of political discussions and puts it in the center, where, she argues, it has belonged all along. -- publisher's web site

Summary: "Wie inszeniert das Medium Film das Zusammenspiel von Sexualität, Widerstand und Körperpolitiken? Welche Formen von Sexualität und erotischer Sinnlichkeit, die entweder als widerständige Handlungsweisen oder als Teil von politischem Widerstand adressiert werden können, wurden in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten in internationalen Filmkulturen visualisiert und damit hervorgehoben? Kann die Darstellung des sexualisierten Körpers oder sexuellen Akts in bestimmten Kontexten zu einer politischen Waffe werden? Welchen Raum erhalten dabei divergierende sexuelle Orientierungen und Praktiken etwa im Verbund mit homosexuellem Begehren? Der Sammelband vereint eine Mischung aus interdisziplinären und künstlerischen Zugängen zum Thema Sexualität und Widerstand und spürt seinen (audio-)visuellen Vermittlungen aus lokaler und transnationaler Perspektive nach. Das breite Spektrum an Text­genres reicht von akademischen Reflexionen über Malerei bis hin zu Dichtkunst und Bildcollagen. Fragen der Film-, ­Medien-, Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaft sowie Geschlechterforschung und Zeitgeschichte treffen in diesem Band auf sexualwissenschaftliche und medizinhistorische Ansätze." -- FROM BLURB

Summary: In this wholly original work of film criticism, David Thomson, celebrated author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, probes the many ways in which sexuality has shaped the movies—and the ways in which the movies have shaped sexuality. Exploring the tangled notions of masculinity, femininity, beauty, and sex that characterize our cinematic imagination—and drawing on examples that range from advertising to pornography, Bonnie and Clyde to Call Me by Your Name—Thomson illuminates how film as art, entertainment, and business has historically been a polite cover for a kind of erotic séance. In so doing, he casts the art and the artists we love in a new light, and reveals how film can both expose the fault lines in conventional masculinity and point the way past it, toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person with desires. -- publisher's web site
