While a film reflects its literary source, it also invites comparisons to our memories of and associations with other versions of the original. For example, a viewer may watch the 2005 big-screen production of Pride and Prejudice and look back on the BBC's 1995 mini-series as well as Jane Austen's novel. Adaptations also rely on the conventions of genre, editing, acting, and sound to engage with our recollections-elements that many movie critics tend to forget when focusing solely on faithfulness to the written word."-BOOK JACKETNotes: includes filmography; includes bibliographical references; includes indexISBN: 9780742538214Donation: donated by Senses of CinemaContents: -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

In What If I Had Been the Hero?, Sue Thornham addresses this question through an exploration of a wide range of films, from experimental feminist film to mainstream Hollywood, and from the 1970s to the present day, by film-makers including Sally Potter, Jane Campion, Deepa Mehta, Patricia Rozema and Lynne Ramsay. Her discussion takes in films from India and Argentina as well as Europe, Canada, Australia and the US.
Drawing on a wide range of feminist theoretical sources, What If I Had Been the Hero? makes an important intervention into contemporary debates, situating film-making within a rich history of female creativity, and insisting on the continuing importance of feminist theory." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographic references and index; Includes filmographyISBN: 9781844573639Contents: Part One: Questions -- Chapter One: 'What If I Had Been The Hero?' -- Chapter Two: Women's Liberation Cinema? -- Chapter Three: Unexplored Territories --; Part Two: Explorations -- Chapter Four: Heroes and Writers -- Chapter Five: Landscapes and Stories -- Chapter Six: Bodies and Passions -- Conclusion: Unfinished Business
