Description

Fantasy explores the aesthetics, themes and debates within film studies' most popular genre. This book examines key films and franchises that illustrate these concerns, including Alice in Wonderland (2010), Avatar (2009) and The Dark Knight (2008). It also considers fantasy film's relationship to myth, legend and fairy tale, examining its role in contemporary culture. The authors provide an historical overview of the genre, its influences and evolution, placing fantasy film within socio-cultural contexts of production and consumption. They investigate links between fantasy film and various fields, including gender, race, psychoanalysis, technology, storytelling, spectacle, realism, adaptation and time. By examining these connections, Fantasy offers a nuanced understanding of the genre and its significance in contemporary culture.
