Filming the body in crisis : trauma, healing and hopefulness

Quinlivan, Davina, author

Overview

\"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.
