How have modern advertising techniques, the widespread use of VCRs, conglomerate takeovers of studios and film archives, cable TV, and media coverage of the Vietnam war changed the ways we watch films? And how, in turn, have those different habits and patterns of viewing changed the ways in which films address their viewers? Drawing on a wide variety of American and European films and on many theoretical models, Timothy Corrigan investigates what he calls a `cinema of excess', taking a close look at such films as Blue Velvet, My Beautiful Launderette, The King of Comedy and Paris, Texas, in order to see how we read film differently in the post-modern world. He looks at cult audiences, narrative structure, genre films (road movies, in particular), and contemporary politics as they engage new models of film making and viewing.
