Description

Femmes Fatales is a landmark work of feminist film criticism by Mary Ann Doane that investigates sexual difference and knowledge within cinematic, theoretical, and psychoanalytic discourse. This Routledge publication examines foundational psychoanalytic concepts through the lens of cinema, analysing how the female spectator engages with film and exploring the significance of close-up cinematography in shaping meaning. Doane traces the evolution of iconic figures including Pabst's Lulu and Rita Hayworth's Gilda, revealing how masquerade, masks, and veiling function both thematically and mechanically within film form and technology. By working through post-structuralist and psychoanalytic frameworks, the book challenges conventional interpretations of stardom and visual representation, offering essential insights into how cinema constructs and conveys ideas about gender, visibility, and desire.

Key Features

Doane's work explores the close-up as a cinematic technology and its role in shaping how audiences interpret meaning and femininity.
