The authors in The Films of Jess Franco , by the mere choice of Franco as a critical focus, exhibit a commitment to intensive research. The product of this research is an engaging look at a forgotten corner of exploitation cinema. . . . The book proves that Franco's oeuvre has been almost criminally ignored, his horrotica a deep well for an academic discussion of exploitation cinema's artistic merits., This volume is an overdue collection of essays on a bizarre, iconoclastic, yet somehow enduringly consequential filmmaker: Jess Franco. Lázaro-Reboll and Olney's volume is the best one yet in terms of offering a helpful range of methods, focal points, and evolving analyses to keep pace with such a dynamic, indefatigable, and endlessly mutating filmmaker., Given its strong scholarship, breadth and depth of inquiry, and inclusion of diverse perspectives, this anthology is an invaluable resource for researchers on Franco, Spanish cinema, and cult film. I am truly impressed by the range and quality of this collection., The Films of Jess Franco succeeds admirably in supporting the long overdue recognition of Franco as a cinematic (anti-) auteur whose career and work are worthy of in-depth analysis. [. . .] For the long-suffering Franco-phile, the publication of this book signals the vindication of a previously overlooked moviemaker worthy of serious study and unbridled celebration., Jess Franco directed films that are often seen as wild, eclectic, and undisciplined. The brilliance of this work is to make sense of Franco's work without losing its energy or variety. This is a clear and coherent collection that features a diverse range of scholars who approach Franco with differing approaches and concerns. Most amazingly, this is a collection which manages to tread an almost impossible tightrope with ease: It remains rigorously academic without ever losing sight of the things that draw audiences to Franco's films.

Synopsis
Looks at the work of Jesus "Jess" Franco (1930-2013), one of the most prolific and madly inventive filmmakers in the history of cinema. Editors Antonio Lázaro-Reboll and Ian Olney have assembled a team of scholars to examine Franco's offbeat films, which command an international cult following and have developed a more mainstream audience in recent years., The Films of Jess Franco looks at the work of Jes's "Jess" Franco (1930-2013), one of the most prolific and madly inventive filmmakers in the history of cinema. He is best known as the director of jazzy, erotically charged horror movies featuring mad scientists, lesbian vampires, and women in prison, but he also dabbled in a multitude of genres from comedy to science fiction to pornography. Although he built his career in the ghetto of low-budget exploitation cinema, he managed to create a body of work that is deeply personal, frequently political, and surprisingly poetic. Editors Antonio L'zaro-Reboll and Ian Olney have assembled a team of scholars to examine Franco's offbeat films, which command an international cult following and have developed a more mainstream audience in recent years. Arguing that his multifaceted, paradoxical cinema cannot be pinned down by any one single approach, this edited volume features twelve original essays on Franco's movies written from a variety of different perspectives. The Films of Jess Franco does not avoid the methodologies most commonly used in the past to analyze Franco's work-auteur criticism, genre criticism, and cult film criticism-yet it does show how Franco's films complicate these critical approaches. This volume opens up fresh avenues for academic inquiry by considering his oeuvre from a range of viewpoints, including transnational film studies, cinephilia studies, and star studies. The book effectively meets the challenge of Franco's multidimensional cinema with multifaceted criticism-attentive to the shifting historical contexts, modes of production and consumption, and formats of Franco's work-that supplements current Franco scholarship and suggests exciting new directions for its further development. The Films of Jess Franco seeks to address the scholarly neglect of this legendary cult director and to broaden the conversation around the director's work in ways that will be of interest to fans and academics alike., The first edited volume devoted to the legendary cult director Jess Franco.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
