140 Pages, Published 2014 by Berghahn Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-85745-979-4, ISBN: 0-85745-979-1

"Ignored, nameless and faceless in the eyes of Rohmer's guillible subject, they may well be the key to the destiny of the film. And when they are seen, they are ' seen' but not looked at, either by the protagonist or the spectator. They are neutral recipients of the nongaze. In Full Moon in Paris (1984), Rohmer supplies us with his cruel exception to the efficacy of the blindfold. Louise overlooks the presence of Marianne with Rémi a ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-7486-1199-7, ISBN: 0-7486-1199-1

"The serious crimes of strangers are those which have leapt in the statistics during the same period as the rise of the serial killer, and the collective fear, the terror of the strange rather than the familiar, has fuelled Hollywood's take on seriality. Seriality, after all, is a key ingredient of a melodrama where a series thought random is found to have an alarming pattern. Its suspenseful discovery by the shrewd investigator is ..."

Over the past three years, in places like New York and Hartlepool, England, a no-nonsense approach has been instilled. Each city's police departments cracked down on petty crime and incivility, which proponents of "zero-tolerance policing" believe to be starters to potentially serious ..."

"A reappraisal of some of the trends in western cinema from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Drawing particularly on European and American films, the author points to the emergence of a neo-modern movement which subverts American melodrama and supplants Italian neo-realism, also echoing the early modernisms of Dreyer, Eisenstein, Bunuel and Fritz Lang. In the American cinema paticular attention is paid to the work of Welles, Hitchcock, and t ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-333-53697-1, ISBN: 0-333-53697-5

While discussing a wide range of playwrights, it focusses specifically on the work of Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter and Sam Shepard. Their plays, it is argued, illuminate the forms of pleasure, fear, performance and corruption which dominate our daily lives. Tragicomedy is seen as uniqu ..."
