Despite the widely publicised prejudice faced by women in
Hollywood, since around 1990 a significant minority of female
directors have been making commercially and culturally impactful
films there across the full range of genres. This book explores
movies by filmmakers Amy Heckerling, Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers,
Catherine Hardwicke, Sofia Coppola, Kimberly Peirce, Kathryn
Bigelow and Greta Gerwig, including many which are still critically
neglected or derided, seeing them as offering a new understanding
of genre filmmaking. That is, like many other contemporary films
but in a striking proportion within the smaller set of mainstream
movies by women, this body of work revels in a heightened genre
status that allows its authors to simultaneously address
'intellectual' cinephilic pleasures and bodily-emotive ones.
Arguing through close analysis that these films demonstrate the
inseparability of such strategies of engagement in contemporary
genre cinema, Heightened Genre reclaims women's mainstream
filmmaking for feminism through a recalibration of genre theory
itself.
