Recenzii
Bird Box was more than just a popular Netflix film, it was a global phenomenon. Seeing the Apocalypse: Essays on Bird Box brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to shed light on the ways the film connected with social anxieties around disability, community, technology, and other issues. This volume provides invaluable insights into not only Bird Box but also the broader trend of apocalyptic horror in the 21st century.
Josh Malerman's novel Bird Box and Susanne Biers' Netflix adaptation became a cultural phenomenon in 2018. Editors Grafius and Stevenson have gathered a remarkable set of essays that explore how Bird Box participates in larger cultural dialogues on topics such as motherhood, disability, and the environment. The contributors' powerful investigations reframe the film, transforming how we see it and revealing what it says about the world. If anything, the implications of this insightful volume render both the film and our reality that much more terrifying.
This outstanding collection on Bird Box explores the film as an important genre piece, a rare sense-deprivation type of apocalyptic body horror that uniquely celebrates disability, while calling our attention to the reality that when society breaks down, the structures that protect us crumble along with it. Like Bird Box itself, the strength of this inventive and beautifully crafted volume lies in the ideal casting of its contributors and the solid concept of the content. Film fans, students, and researchers will find Grafius' and Stevenson's radical new volume, which was written during a real-world pandemic, lively, accessible, and fascinating!
