This new edition of a classic student textbook explores the feature film as entertainment, as narrative and as cultural event. Graeme Turner provides a clear introduction to major theoretical issues in the history of film production and film studies, examining the function of film as a national cultural industry, and its place in our popular culture.
This new edition includes:
* Analysis of classic and popular contemporary films, including Scream 2, The Wedding Singer and Lethal Weapon 4, with a selection of brand new film stills.
* Updated and expanded discussion of debates surrounding film narrative, feminist film theory, the film industry, including the New Hollywood, and audiences and spectatorship, including the rise of the multiplex.
* Arguments revised throughout to take into account recent developments in film and cultural theory and changing cinematic trends.
