Studying Contemporary American Film: A Guide to Movie Analysis

by Warren Buckland and Thomas Elsaesser

Book Overview

How should the student set about analysing contemporary American cinema?
This book takes an innovative approach to film analysis: each chapter
examines the assumptions behind one traditional theory of film, distils a
method of analysis from it, and then analyses a contemporary American
movie. It then goes beyond the traditional theory by analysing the same
movie using a more current theory and method.
