Description
Mourning Films: A Critical Study of Loss and Grieving in Cinema explores a lesser-known genre of modernist film that revolves around bereavement. By tracing its roots in classical melodrama and horror cinema, the book identifies perennial themes and aesthetic devices that have evolved over time.
The study draws on various theoretical frameworks, including film theory by Gilles Deleuze and Daniel Frampton, as well as psychoanalysis and grief counseling theory. It examines how changing exhibition patterns, domestic spectatorship, and online film literature have influenced the notion of genre in post-classical cinema.
