Description
Jennifer's Body: A Supernatural Horror with a Nuanced Skewering of Gender Politics. In 2009, Jennifer's Body was released to mixed reviews, but its influence has only grown in the years since. This film, directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, tells the story of a high school cheerleader who becomes a literal man-eater. The movie's complex exploration of gender politics, queer love, and supernatural horror has made it a cult favourite. In Extra Salty, Frederick Blichert re-examines Jennifer's Body as a film that was unfairly labelled a failure. This new book offers insight into the genre's cinematic tropes, our current cultural reckoning with misogyny, and an original interview with director Karyn Kusama. With its concise and accessible arguments, Extra Salty solidifies Jennifer's Body's status as a significant work in popular culture. The Pop Classics Series brings together short books that pack a big punch, offering intelligent and fun discussions about why certain pop phenomena matter. This book is the perfect choice for anyone looking to understand the enduring appeal of Jennifer's Body.
