Capital and popular cinema responds to the need for a more solid academic approach by situating 'low' film genres in their economic and culturally-specific contexts and by exploring the interconnections between those contexts, the immediate industrial-financial interests sustaining the films, and the films' aesthetics. Through the examination of three different cycles in film production - the Italian giallo of Mario Bava, the Mexican films of Fernando Mňdez, and the Hindi horror cinema of the Ramsay Brothers - this book proposes a comparative approach that accounts for the whole of a national film industry's production ('popular' and 'canonic'), and is applicable to the study of film genres globally.Cult filmsHistory and criticismCult filmsEconomic aspectsMotion picture industryCult filmsHistory and criticism.Cult filmsEconomic aspects.Motion picture industry.791.43Vitali Valentina975667StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910154641003321Capital and popular cinema2221755UNINA
