Internally unmarked. Known for her outrageous opinion, Julie Burchill exposes the achingly ambiguous relationship between female images on the screen and the people who created and then consumed them.

	MACNAB, GEOFFREY Film Frontier: The Making of Taxi Driver Unanimous Ltd. 2005, First Edition. (ISBN: 1903318823) Soft Cover . Unanimous Ltd, 2005. ISBN: 1903318823. First edition. Very good condition; looks unread. Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver is one of the key films of the 1970s. In Travis Bickle (Robert de Niro), the Vietnam vet turned New York taxi driver, Scorsese created a character who summed up the seething discontents of an America still traumatised by Vietnam and Watergate. A slave to pornography and junk food, obsessed with guns, Travis was very different from the traditional Hollywood film hero, but struck an immediate rapport with audiences worldwide. Taxi Driver was influenced by eveything from Dostoevsky novels to John Ford westerns, Godard movies, film noir, and screenwriter Paul Schrader's memories of living rough. The movie's impact has been felt in unexpected ways: in the actions of Jodie Foster-obsessed John Hinkley, who tried to assassinate President Reagan after seeing the film 15 times; in the music of British punk bands; and in the work of thousands of other filmmakers, trying to make gritty, urban thrillers.

Very good condition. Single page has word in margin, o/w internally unmarked. This book offers an accessible account of film theory aimed at the student.

Softcover. Very good condition. Internally unmarked. This is Stern's daringly innovative book on the work of Martin Scorsese, the most important contemporary film-maker in North America. Her vivid account invites the reader to enter into a liminal world where texts, films and personal subjectivity freely mix. She explores two main avenues: the way Scorsese remakes other movies (Raging Bull replays The Red Shoes, Taxi Driver triggers a resurgence of The Searchers, Cape Fear reanimates The Night of the Hunter and Blue Velvet), and the way we. as viewers, absorb and make sense'with' films rather than of them, using our sense of touch and smell as well as our ears and eyes. 23.5 x 15.5 cm. 261 pp. Very Good.

	TAYLOR, DAVID Film Frontier: The Making of Scarface Unanimous Ltd. 2005, First Edition. (ISBN: 1903318734) Soft Cover . Unanimous Ltd, 2005. ISBN: 1903318734. First edition. Very good condition; looks unread. This book charts the genesis of the most controversial gangster story ever told and one of the most explosive gangster movies ever filmed. From the moment author Armitage Trail published his novel 'Scarface' in 1930, the story has captured the imagination of the public. Originally passed off as a fictionalised biography of Al Capone, it has been the subject of death threats, censorship battles, and fierce public debate. This book traces the first troubled attempt to bring Scarface to the screen by producer Howard Hughes, screenwriter Ben Hecht, and director Howard Hawks. Seventy years later, more censorship battles accompany the decision by producer Martin Bregman, screenwriter Oliver Stone, and director Brian de Palma to unleash a revolutionary new version of Scarface on to the screen. Read all about it as author David Taylor produces a blow-by-blow account of the troubled production history of a cult classic.

Very good condition; looks unread. Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver is one of the key films of the 1970s. In Travis Bickle (Robert de Niro), the Vietnam vet turned New York taxi driver, Scorsese created a character who summed up the seething discontents of an America still traumatised by Vietnam and Watergate. A slave to pornography and junk food, obsessed with guns, Travis was very different from the traditional Hollywood film hero, but struck an immediate rapport with audiences worldwide. Taxi Driver was influenced by eveything from Dostoevsky novels to John Ford westerns, Godard movies, film noir, and screenwriter Paul Schrader's memories of living rough. The movie's impact has been felt in unexpected ways: in the actions of Jodie Foster-obsessed John Hinkley, who tried to assassinate President Reagan after seeing the film 15 times; in the music of British punk bands; and in the work of thousands of other filmmakers, trying to make gritty, urban thrillers.

Her vivid account invites the reader to enter into a liminal world where texts, films and personal subjectivity freely mix. She explores two main avenues: the way Scorsese remakes other movies (Raging Bull replays The Red Shoes, Taxi Driver triggers a resurgence of The Searchers, Cape Fear reanimates The Night of the Hunter and Blue Velvet), and the way we. as viewers, absorb and make sense'with' films rather than of them, using our sense of touch and smell as well as our ears and eyes. 23.5 x 15.5 cm. 261 pp. Very Good.

Very good condition; looks unread. This book charts the genesis of the most controversial gangster story ever told and one of the most explosive gangster movies ever filmed. From the moment author Armitage Trail published his novel 'Scarface' in 1930, the story has captured the imagination of the public. Originally passed off as a fictionalised biography of Al Capone, it has been the subject of death threats, censorship battles, and fierce public debate. This book traces the first troubled attempt to bring Scarface to the screen by producer Howard Hughes, screenwriter Ben Hecht, and director Howard Hawks. Seventy years later, more censorship battles accompany the decision by producer Martin Bregman, screenwriter Oliver Stone, and director Brian de Palma to unleash a revolutionary new version of Scarface on to the screen. Read all about it as author David Taylor produces a blow-by-blow account of the troubled production history of a cult classic.
