Description

Gothic Cinema: A Groundbreaking Study of Film's Most Enduring Aesthetic. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Gothic cinema, tracing its evolution from early phantasmagoria shows and 'trick' films to its modern manifestations in film and animation. Xavier Aldana Reyes delves into the historical development of the genre, examining key periods such as the chiaroscuro experiments of German cinema, the monster cinema of the 1930s, and the European exploitation booms of the 1960s and 1970s. Aldana Reyes argues for a more nuanced understanding of Gothic cinema, one that acknowledges its position within broader film industries. This study is ideal for scholars and those with an interest in the subject, providing a thorough chronological, transhistorical, and transnational analysis of the genre.
