The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world
of film theory. By marrying the explanation of a film theory with
the interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples
of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis.
Feminist Film Theory and Cleo from 5 to 7 offers a concise
introduction to feminist film theory in jargon-free language and
shows how this theory can be deployed to interpret Agnes Varda's
critically acclaimed 1962 film Cleo from 5 to 7. Hilary Neroni
employs the methodology of looking for a feminist alternative among
female-oriented films. Through three key concepts-identification,
framing the woman's body, and the female auteur-Neroni lays bare
the debates and approaches within the vibrant history of feminist
film theory, providing a point of entry to feminist film theory
from its inception to today. Picking up one of the currents in
feminist film theory - that of looking for feminist alternatives
among female-oriented films - Neroni traces feminist responses to
the contradictions inherent in most representations of women in
film, and she details how their responses have intervened in
changing what we see on the screen.
