Memory And Popular Film by Paul Grainge, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

One of the first books to put memory at the centre of analysis when exploring the relationship between film culture and the past. Provides a sustained, interdisciplinary perspective on memory and film from early cinema to the present, drawing from film studies, American studies and culturalstudies. Adopts a resolutely cultural perspective and unlike psychoanalytic or formalist approaches to memory, explores questions of culture, power and identity. Contributes to the growing debate about the status and function of the past in cultural life and discourse, discussing issues of memory infilm, and of film as memory. Considers such well known films as Forrest Gump, Pleasantville, and Jackie Brown. | Memory And Popular Film by Paul Grainge, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
