In 1896, Maxim Gorky declared cinema "the Kingdom of Shadows." In
its silent, ashen-grey world, he saw a land of spectral, and ever
since then cinema has had a special relationship with the haunted
and the ghostly. Cinematic Ghosts is the first collection devoted
to this subject, including fourteen new essays, dedicated to
exploring the many permutations of the movies' phantoms. Cinematic
Ghosts contains essays revisiting some classic ghost films within
the genres of horror (The Haunting, 1963), romance (Portrait of
Jennie, 1948), comedy (Beetlejuice, 1988) and the art film (Uncle
Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, 2010), as well as essays
dealing with a number of films from around the world, from Sweden
to China. Cinematic Ghosts traces the archetype of the cinematic
ghost from the silent era until today, offering analyses from a
range of historical, aesthetic and theoretical dimensions.
