Description

Arguing for the need to understand Gothic cinema as an aesthetic mode, this book explores its long history, from its transitional origins in phantasmagoria shows and the first ‘trick’ films to its postmodern fragmentation in the Gothic pastiches of Tim Burton. But what is Gothic cinema? Is the iconography of the Gothic film equivalent to that of the horror genre? Are the literary origins of the Gothic what solidified its aesthetics? And exactly what cultural roles does the Gothic continue to perform for us today? Gothic Cinema covers topics such as the chiaroscuro experiments of early German cinema, the monster cinema of the 1930s, the explained supernatural of the old dark house mystery films of the 1920s and the Female Gothics of the 1940s, the use of vibrant colours in the period Gothics of the late 1950s, the European exploitation booms of the 1960s and 1970s, and the animated films and Gothic superheroes that dominate present times. Throughout, Aldana Reyes makes a strong case for a medium-specific and more intuitive approach to the Gothic on screen that acknowledges its position within wider film industries with their own sets of financial pressures and priorities. This groundbreaking book is the first thorough chronological, transhistorical and transnational study of Gothic cinema, ideal for both new and seasoned scholars, as well as those with a wider interest in the Gothic. Review ‘This highly welcome and comprehensive study of Gothic cinema is marked by subtle generic distinctions, a superbly long historical range and a focus that moves widely and ably among different national cinemas. Aldana Reyes writes with style and verve, and establishes a proper scholarly framework for the study of Gothic cinema in all its variety as an aesthetic mode.’ Professor David Punter, Senior Research Fellow, University of Bristol 'Aldana Reyes offers an insightful and much-needed excavation of the dark history of the Gothic on film. Rigorously researched, engagingly written and providing new perspectives and understanding, this is a must-read for film and Gothic scholars alike.' Dr. Stacey Abbott, Reader in Film and Television Studies, Roehampton University About the Author Xavier Aldana Reyes is Reader in English Literature and Film at Manchester Metropolitan University and a founder member of the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies. He is the author of the books Spanish Gothic (2017), Horror Film and Affect (2016) and Body Gothic (2014).
