Reviews

Kevin Corbett has written a truly original and exceptionally insightful study of the oeuvre of one of the most prolific and popular filmmakers of our time, attentive at once to the idiosyncrasies and unique qualities of the individual films and to the broader socio-cultural context and sensibilities they nonetheless relate. This is a wonderful book. * Timotheus Vermeulen, Professor of Media, Culture and Society, University of Oslo, Norway *
