Undressing Cinema by Stella Bruzzi
Using case studies drawn from contemporary popular cinema to reassess ideas about costume and fashion in cinema, Bruzzi explores how clothes are key elements in the construction of cinematic identities and proposes new and dynamic links between cinema, fashion and costume history, gender, queer theory and psychoanalysis.Bruzzi challenges a number of truisms about the function of fashion in cinema; she argues convincingly that fashion cannot be described or analysed as a mere prop for narrativeThis book does nothing less than encourage the reader to think and re-think the last several decades of film theory concerning what films mean and how they appeal to spectators. Bruzzi brings a wealth of knowledge about both fashion and film to her discussions, and the result is both entertaining and enlightening'. - Judith Mayne, Professor of French & Women's studies, Ohio State University
