(Paperback)

Borrowing its title from Gregg Araki's 2005 film, in which the camera's contemplation of the male body encourages us to feel that body, and covering a span of subjects and films, this title offers a representative picture of the depiction of the male body in contemporary world cinemas than has hitherto been attempted.

(Hardback)

The first comprehensive English-language study of Bigas Luna's complete filmography, this book explores genre, gender representation, Iberian and Mediterranean identities, and meta-cinematic narratives. It can be read as a cohesive study of his oeuvre or as a reference for specific films.

(Paperback)
