The ultimate guide to contemporary romantic comedy, "Falling in
Love Again" offers a timely new assessment of this hugely popular
phenomenon.
Romantic comedy has long been a mainstay of the movies, from the
classic screwballs of the 1930s, through to Woody Allen's "nervous
comedies" of the 1970s and the current great Hollywood revival,
with modern classics such as "Maid in Manhattan" and "Lost in
Translation," Yet rom-coms have often struggled to be taken
seriously. This original anthology from an international collection
of contributors updates, revisits and reflects on today's romantic
comedies. It considers the films and issues that illustrate the
breathtaking diversity of the genre, from the queer pleasures of
"Miss Congeniality" and the rom-com persona of J-Lo and Bill
Murray, to high school prom-coms and indie romantic comedies. It
also explores the new male-centred romances like "Wedding Crashers"
and looks further afield into the healing power of romantic love in
the Bollywood hit "Raji Hindustani,"
These themes and more are covered in a book that takes the
romantic comedy seriously, while also examining the many pleasures
of this continually regenerating film form. Includes stills from
some of the best known and well loved rom-coms of recent years, as
well as a comprehensive filmography.
