Film Theory and Contemporary Hollywood Movies by Warren Buckland
Film theory no longer gets top billing or plays a starring role in film studies, as critics proclaim that theory is dead and we are living in a post-theory moment. This volume explores popular movies through the lens of film theory, beginning with industrial-economic analysis before moving into a predominately aesthetic and interpretive framework."this is an audacious, thoughtful volume that demands close attention..Highly recommended." -CHOICE
