Description
Science Fiction Film examines one of Hollywood's most enduring genres, tracing its evolution in American culture over the twentieth century. J. P. Telotte surveys science fiction film criticism and history, exploring humanist, psychological, ideological, feminist, and postmodern perspectives. Telotte delves into the genre's early manifestations, comparing it to pulp fiction, early television science fiction, and Japanese animé. He also offers in-depth readings of three key films: Robocop, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and THX 1138, each representing a distinct form of science fiction fantasy. By challenging traditional boundaries between high and low culture, literature and film, Science Fiction Film reasserts the central role of fantasy in popular cinema.
