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 Mn?dez, 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. 606 $aCult films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCult films$xEconomic aspects 606 $aMotion picture industry 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aCult films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCult films$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aMotion picture industry. 676 $a791.43 700 $aVitali$b Valentina$01556519 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798900603321 996 $aCapital and popular cinema$93819250 997 $aUNINA
