Description de l'ouvrage:
Mary Harron’s diverse career includes cult films like I Shot Andy Warhol, American Psycho and The Notorious Bettie Page, as well as a range of network and cable television episodes. This is the first book to examine an overlooked filmmaker in relation to feminist cinema. It discusses the dialectical dynamics within her wide-ranging body of work, and it argues that Harron’s work has a distinguishing approach to stylistic and aesthetic choices prompted by cultural contexts, controversial subject matter and production limitations.
Each chapter provides an in-depth study on Harron’s creative approaches to film and television production, with chapters offering close readings of each of her 5 narrative features, and her work in television and promotional film. With scholarly approaches from the fields of cinema, television, gender, fashion, death and celebrity studies, this is a long-awaited introduction to a groundbreaking figure in contemporary cinema.
À propos de l'auteur :

Revue de Presse:
This is a welcome addition to the growing body of work on women working within mainstream and/or indie film and television production, an area of creative practice too often overlooked. The editor has done well to source a range of cogent contributions providing good coverage of Mary Harron’s oeuvre, including in television. -- Mary Harrod, University of Warwick
