The Film Paintings of David Lynch: Challenging Film Theory

By Allister Mactaggart

Now Available | ISBN 9781841503325 | Pb | Price £14.95, $25

Aimed at both Lynch fans and ?lm studies 
specialists, Allister Mactaggart addresses 
Lynch's ?lms from the perspective of the 
relationship between commercial ?lm, avant-garde 
art, and cultural theory. Individual Lynch works 
are discussed in relation to other ?lms and 
directors, illustrating that the solitary, or 
seemingly isolated, experience of ?lm is itself 
socially, culturally, and politically important. 
Mactaggart offers a unique perspective on an 
in?uential director, weaving together a range of 
theoretical approaches to Lynch's ?lms to make 
exciting new connections among ?lm theory, art history and psychoanalysis.

Cinema and Landscape: Film, Nation and Cultural Geography

Edited by Graeme Harper and Jonathan Rayner

Now Available | ISBN 9781841503097 | Pb | Price £14.95, $25

The notion of landscape is a complex one, but it 
has been central to the art and artistry of the 
cinema. After all, what is the French New Wave 
without Paris?  What are the films of Sidney 
Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Spike 
Lee, without New York?  Cinema and Landscape 
frames up contemporary film landscapes across the 
world, in a concentrated examination and 
interrogation of screen aesthetics and national 
ideology, film form and cultural geography, 
cinematic representation and the human environment.
