Alternative Worlds in Hollywood Cinema by James Walters
The use of alternate realities in cinema has been brought to heights by films "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "Donnie Darko". This book analyzes these imaginary realms, tracing their construction and development across periods, genres, and history.
"The book is very readable.. an important area of film study. The most original aspects of the book are the close readings of the films discussed and how these readings cohere across a single thesis."-Pat Brereton, Dublin City University, author of Hollywood Utopia "Whether they are film buffs or film scholars, readers prepared to engage with the ideas developed by James Walters will come away with some interesting and original insights into the different imagined cinematic worlds constructed by each of the seven films selected for analysis." - Peter Schembri, M/C Reviews
James Walters is a Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of Birmingham.
