Summary

ls"Screen Writings: Genres, Classics, and Aestheticsrs" offers close readings of genre films and acknowledged film classics in an attempt to explore both the aesthetics of genre and the definition of 'classic' - as well as the changing perception of so-called classic movies over time. Implicitly theoretical as much as it is unashamedly practical, this book is a model not only of text analysis, but also of the enlightened deployment of cultural studies in the service of film study. The book includes re-considerations of such classic films as ls"I vitellonirs", ls"Grand Illusionrs", ls"Winter Lightrs", and ls"Tokyo Storyrs"; it features genre examinations of the war film (ls"Flags of Our Fathersrs" and ls"Letters from Iwo Jimars"), farce (ls"Some Like It Hotrs"), the road film (ls"The Rain Peoplers"), the New York-centered movie (ls"Manhattanrs"), and avant-garde pictures that privilege narrative (ls"3-Ironrs" and ls"Eternal Sunshine of the Classic Mindrs"); and ls"Screen Writings: Genres, Classics, and Aestheticsrs" concludes with a searching investigation of the rise of the New American Cinema during a tumultuous decade and social change - from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.
