Description

This text traces the evolution of postmodern cinema through its multiple and overlapping expressions. Through an analysis of films such as "American Beauty", "Blade Runner", "Natural Born Killers" and "Thelma and Louise", Carl Boggs and Thomas Pollard explore the historical and theoretical shift from the long era of modernity to an emergent postmodernity and xamine its intersection with film culture, bringing together elements of sociology, history, economics, literature, communications and pop culture to fully explore the complex developmental interaction between film and society. The resulting work illuminates the different, often conflicted and contradictory, currents at work in the film industry that long ago departed from the ritualized practices of the classical studio system. The book is aimed at film and pop culture enthusiasts as well as everyone interested in the role of film in global society.
