| Sommario/riassunto: | Representations of troubled and inhospitable domestic places are a common feature of many cinematic narratives. 'Unhomely Cinema' explores how the unhomely nature of contemporary film narrative provides an insight into what it means to dwell in today's global societies. Providing analyses of a variety of film genres - from Michel Gondry's comedy 'Be Kind Rewind' to Laurent Cantet's eerie suspense thriller 'Time Out' - 'Unhomely Cinema' presents an engaging discussion of some of the most pertinent social and cultural issues involved in the question of 'making home' in contemporary societies. |
