This book theorizes how cinema directors some independent and some mainstream apply a queer aesthetic to the stories they tell. The author develops the concept of the queer gaze to explore the ways in which film narratives and aesthetic reflect on both heteronormative and queer themes.
Scott Stoddart is Professor of English at Saint Peters University.
