About this book
In the first book-length study of this topic, D.W. McKiernan examines the way mainstream commercial cinema represents society's complex relationship with the idea and practice of community in the context of rapidly changing social conditions. Films examined include Ae Fond Kiss, The Idiots and Monsoon Wedding.
Reviews
'This elegantly argued, insightful book looks at the manner in which the commercial cinema presents modern audiences with images of community as ideals to be either embraced or questioned.'
- W. W. Dixon, American Library Association
