Breaking Bad is known for its grim and gritty outbursts of anger
and violence. In the chaotic story of a meth-dealing high school
chemistry teacher, time seems to collapse, and we feel as though
the lives of the characters are moving inevitably closer to their
ends. This warped perspective wends its way through virtually every
aspect of the story, intensifying the meaning we attach to the
characters' precarious lives. Hoping to cultivate a deeper
understanding of the series, Breaking Bad, Breaking Out, Breaking
Even offers a new way of approaching the program though its complex
treatment of time. With its grotesque portrayal of life on the
brink of death, argues Gertrud Koch, we can best view Breaking Bad
as a black comedy between Chaplin's Monsieur Verdoux and film noir.
Koch takes readers through the ways in which this is accomplished
through the show's various visual elements and masterful temporal
and narrative structuring. Full of fascinating insights, the book
will appeal to the show's many fans, as well as anyone interested
in film studies, media studies, or popular culture.
