Description
Book SynopsisBy offering close readings of key contemporary films such as 'Blue Is the Warmest Colour, Water Lilies' and 'Carol' alongside a broader filmography encompassing over 300 other films released between 1927 and 2018, the book provokes new ways of understanding a changing field of representation.
Trade Review"Twenty-first century cinema has so far yielded an extraordinarily rich array of works—by directors male and female, queer and straight, arthouse and independent—that feature lesbian figures, desires, and dilemmas. Bradbury-Rance’s book is the definitive study of these films. Showing how cinema stages key dramas of gender, sex, and visibility for the digital age, Bradbury-Rance convincingly restores the lesbian to debates in queer theory." Professor Patricia White, Swarthmore College
