Critics regularly use the term "provocateur" to describe
controversial film directors. Although most individuals who attract
this term are men, there is a long and largely unexamined history
of female auteurs who shock and unsettle their viewers. Provocation
in Women's Filmmaking: Authorship and Art Cinema investigates how
women directors participate in the tradition of provocative art
cinema. Focusing on the post-millennium films of auteurs such as
Lisa Aschan, Catherine Breillat, Jennifer Kent, Isabella Ekloef,
Lucile Hadzihalilovic, Claire Denis, Anna Biller and Athina Rachel
Tsangari, this book considers the aesthetics and strategies of
women's provocative filmmaking in contemporary cinema. Challenging
the gendering of provocation as a hyper-masculine mode of
authorship, the book uncovers an enticing and complex array of
divisive works by women.
