Written by a world expert in Science Fiction, 'Reading Science
Fiction Film' is both a hugely entertaining and enlightening read
and a new critical approach to SF films that considers them as both
autonomous creations and contributions to the genre and to the
broader culture. Roz Kaveney looks at the movies of alien invasion
and movie franchises, as well as offering deep readings of the
'Alien' quartet, of 'Dark City' and 'Strange Days'; extended
consideration of the 'Star Wars' series, and Terminator films; and
a celebration of Galaxy Quest and many other films. '.....an
incredibly necessary text -- arming the geeks with tools to read
films for the DVD generation -- and possibly regeneration.
important to the text as an encyclopedic knowledge of a hundred
years of written SF, and what movies mean. - Neil Gaiman ''Works of
serious pop-culch critique too often founder on either the Scylla
or critical-theory pomposity or the Charybdis of triviality. Waking
into Dream triumphantly avoids both. It's an exemplary book of its
kind. For any other authors considering tackling this subject, it
is the book to beat.' - Charles Shaar Murray Roz Kaveney is editor
of and chief contributor to 'Reading the Vampire Slayer (I.B.
Tauris) now available in its new, up-dated edition. She is a
freelance writer and editor, who also contributed to The
Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and The Cambridge Guide to Women Writing
in English.
