A Cinema without Walls by Timothy Corrigan

Drawing on a wide variety of American and European films and on many theoretical models, Timothy Corrigan investigates what he calls a cinema of excess, taking a close look at such films as Blue Velvet, My Beautiful Launderette, The King of Comedy and Paris, Texas, in order to see how we read film differently in the post-modern world. He looks at cult audiences, narrative structure, genre films (road movies, in particular), and contemporary politics as they engage new models of film-making and viewing.
