Focusing on Hollywood's classical era, the book explores how films like Marked Woman and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington can engage with political themes. By analyzing these works through the lens of contemporary democratic theories from thinkers like Laclau and Rancière, it reveals that popular cinema can provide nuanced and provocative insights into democracy and politics, challenging traditional perceptions of film's role in political discourse.
