American cinema has always been violent, and never more so than now: exploding heads, buses that blow up if they stop, racial attacks, and general mayhem. From slapstick's comic violence to film noir, from silent cinema to Tarantino, violence has been an integral part of America on screen.
This new volume in a successful series analyses violence, examining its nature, its effects, and its cinematic and social meaning. The contributors, who include Marsha Kinder and Richard Maltby address theories and histories of Hollywood violence, traditionally violent genres, and Hollywood violence and cultural politics.
