Sex and Film, 2015 The Erotic in British, American and World Cinema

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

Couverture de l’ouvrage Sex and Film
Sex and Film is a frank, comprehensive analysis of the cinema's love affair with the erotic. Forshaw's lively study moves from the sexual abandon of the 1930s to filmmakers' circumvention of censorship, the demolition of taboos by arthouse directors and pornographic films, and an examination of how explicit imagery invaded modern mainstream cinema.

Barry Forshaw's books include Death in a Cold Climate, British Crime Film, The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction, Italian Cinema, British Crime Writing: An Encyclopaedia , and a biography of Stieg Larsson. He has written for a variety of newspapers, Crime Time, and is a talking head for ITV author profiles and BBC documentaries.

Barry Forshaw is one of the UK's leading high-profile experts on film and fiction, writing on the subjects for various newspapers and books and recording BBC TV and radio programmes, along with broadcasts throughout the world

The book anatomises in intelligent but accessible fashion the massive commercial (and artistic) appeal of the erotic, both film and original sources (with such movies as ”Nymphomaniac”, "Blue is the Warmest Colour”, and EL James' "50 Shades of Grey”). This is the perfect reader's guide to the field today

Forshaw discuses ingenious attempts by filmmakers in the 1940s to circumvent censorship, through the demolition of taboos by arthouse movies of the 1950s and 1960s (notably Ingmar Bergman's groundbreaking The Virgin Spring and The Silence) and the battles of rebel directors such as Otto Preminger, who controversially tried to tackle the sexual arena with an adult honesty
