Filming the body in crisis : trauma, healing and hopefulness
\"Filming the Body in Crisis engages with the subject of reparation as a vital element of film experience in the 21st century. It explores this in two ways: first, in the context of the thematic presentation of the healing mind and body on screen and, second, as an affective attribute of the image itself in which a 'healing' body is registered at the level of reception. Its close analyses of particular films emphasize cinema's potential to resemble an 'object' of hope. This leads to the interrogation of what might be understood as the restorative dimensions of film viewing and its negotiation of trauma. The book includes analysis of films such as The Tree of Life (Malick, 2011), A Dangerous Method (Cronenberg, 2011) and Blue (Jarman, 1993)\"-- Provided by publisher.

The unpleasure principle
In the final moments of Breaking the Waves (1996), a naive young woman, Bess (played by Emily Watson), is transported on a small boat towards a pirate ship, dressed in crimson PVC hot pants and fishnet tights, garishly made-up and teetering in high heels. Viewers will get an opportunity to decide for themselves from 22 February, when selected cinemas will screen both volumes, with live satellite links to a question-and-answer session with cast and crew, to kick off the general release of the films in the UK.

The horror and the pity
[...]Herzog's masterpiece is the vampire film par excellence that offers up sympathy to the monster - a sentiment echoed throughout the British Film Institute's longest-ever season, titled Gothic: The Dark Heart of Film. According to Heather Stewart, the season's creative director, the BFI intends to revisit the genre in light of recent popular successes such as the Twilight and Harry Potter films.
