Fantasy addresses a previously neglected area within film studies.
The book looks at the key aesthetics, themes, debates and issues at
work within this popular genre and examines films and franchises
that illustrate these concerns. Contemporary case studies include:
Alice in Wonderland (2010) Avatar (2009) The Dark Knight (2008)
Edward Scissorhands (1990) Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) Pirates of
the Caribbean (2003-2007) Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
(2010) Shrek (2001) Twelve Monkeys (1995) The authors also consider
fantasy film and its relationship to myth, legend and fairy tale,
examining its important role in contemporary culture. The book
provides an historical overview of the genre, its influences and
evolution, placing fantasy film within the socio-cultural contexts
of production and consumption and with reference to relevant theory
and critical debates. This is the perfect introduction to the world
of fantasy film and investigates the links between fantasy film and
gender, fantasy film and race, fantasy film and psychoanalysis,
fantasy film and technology, fantasy film storytelling and
spectacle, fantasy film and realism, fantasy film and adaptation,
and fantasy film and time.
