With the chick flick arguably in decline, film scholars may well
ask: what has become of the woman's film? Little attention has been
paid to the proliferation of films, often from the independent
sector, that do not sit comfortably in either the category of
popular culture or that of high art--films that are perhaps the
corollary of the middle-brow novel, or "smart-chick flicks". This
book seeks to fill this void by focusing on the steady stream of
films about and for women that emerge out of independent American
and European cinema, and that are designed to address an
international female audience. The new woman's film as a genre
includes narratives with strong ties to the woman's film of
classical Hollywood while constituting a new distinctive cycle of
female-centered films that in many ways continue the project of
second-wave feminism, albeit in a modified form. Topics addressed
include: The Bridges of Madison County (Clint Eastwood, 1995); the
feature-length films of Nicole Holofcener, 1996-2013; the film
roles of Tilda Swinton; Rachel Getting Married (Jonathan Demme,
2008); Blue Jasmine (Woody Allen, 2013); Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach,
2012), Belle (Amma Asante, 2013), Fifty Shades of Grey (Sam
Taylor-Johnson, 2015) and Jane Campion's Top of the Lake (Sundance
Channel, 2013-).
