Recenzii
An excellent variety of fascinating readings about a surprisingly complex film of the 1970s. The range of approaches is stimulating, accessible, and superbly thought out. Each essay increases our knowledge of Jaws from a variety of perspectives and heightens our understanding of the film.
The Jaws Book is rich, insightful and comprehensive. It revisits this landmark film from an extremely wide range of perspectives, covering production, film style, genre, representation and reception. As a consequence, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of American popular cinema, as well as the impact and legacy of this enduring, ever-popular film
45 years after its release, Steven Spielberg's Jaws continues to endlessly fascinate and function as a cornerstone for contemporary popular culture. Hunter and Melia's collection brings together an impressive group of scholars, who deftly debate and analyse Jaws in a series of original, insightful and highly readable essays. Distinguishing fact from myth, and scrutinizing details pertaining to its production, textual organisation and reception, The Jaws Book offers genuinely new perspectives on why the film continues to resonate. No doubt, it will appeal to everyone interested in the film, its director and the industrial, cultural and political cultures that produced it.
This is a terrific collection of essays that genuinely brings new insight, and with a foreword provided by Jaws' screenwriter and supporting actor Carl Gottlieb himself, The Jaws Book is highly recommended for any fan of Jaws, or for anyone with even a passing interest in this crucial moment in film history.
