Main content
Dealing with some of the major themes in film narratives, this book draws on the theories of French psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva. It looks at how narratives have changed over time, and considers the sources of our variable reactions to themes and representations of horror, strangers, and love.
In addition to a selection of contemporary mainstream films, the major films for analysis are New Zealand 鈥淣ew Wave鈥� films such as Alison Maclean鈥檚 Kitchen Sink and Crush; Vincent Ward鈥檚 Vigil; and Jane Campion鈥檚 Sweety, An Angel at My Table, and The Piano.
Katherine J. Goodnow is Professor in the Department of Information Sciences and Media 大象传媒, University of Bergen, and has published widely on museums and cultural diversity.
