Reviews

"Diken (Lancaster U.) and Laustsen (Aarhus U., Denmark) examine social issues in contemporary film, and apply those observations in the context of personal identity, film theory and modern culture. Designed to appeal to students of both sociology and film, this book addresses such topics as social exclusion, gender roles, the abuse of power and psychological bonds in modern society. Films such as Fight Club, Life is Beautiful, City of God, Lord of the Flies and Brazil are discussed in depth." -- Book News Inc., August 2008
