Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of psychology, criminology, censorship, and anthropology, this comprehensive study examines four decades of American violent cinema. Divided into two volumes, it analyzes films from "Touch of Evil" to "The Terminator" in the first volume and from "Apocalypse Now" to "The Matrix" in the second. Horsley encourages a dialogue among scholars and film enthusiasts, prompting readers to reflect on the complex relationship between the portrayal of violence in film and the audience's desire to engage with it.
