Lost Angels - Psychoanalysis and Cinema (Hardcover)

Re-reading Freud's writing on femininity, fantasy and social identification, "Lost Angels" expands the psychoanalytic framework within which contemporary debates regarding fantasy and spectatorship have been taking place. Vicky Lebeau takes Freud's preoccupation with femininity and feminine fantasy as her starting point and goes on to explore his differentiation between masculine and feminine forms of fantasy through feminist and critical theories of spectatorship and cinema. Investigating how psychoanalysis explains fantasy as a form of preoccupation which cuts across both private' and public' forms of fantasy, Lebeau links discussion of the female spectator with the so-called malaise' of today's mass culture through her close readings of three key youth' films of the 1980s - John Hughes' "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" , Francis Coppola's "Rumble Fish" and Tim Hunter's "River's Edge". "Lost Angels" is an addition to current feminist film theory and valuable reading for all students of film.
