Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the grotesque in cinema, this book analyzes the works of American filmmakers Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, the Coen Brothers, and David Lynch. It posits that viewing their films through the grotesque lens connects them to a rich historical tradition in art and aesthetics. This perspective not only highlights the unique contributions of these auteurs but also provides a vast array of images, themes, and motifs, enabling them to subversively depict the human experience and our societal roles.
