- Summary:
- Barry Langford provides a detailed account of genre history and contemporary trends in film genre, alongside the critical debates they have provoked. The book ranges widely across the field, dealing separately and in detail with not only classic genres and films but also more recent trends such as body-horror, Holocaust film, and the action blockbuster. Langford shows how notions of genre help shape the ways that filmmakers, critics, and audiences view films.
