Pressezitat
"Marcantonio's book is an innovative study of contemporary melodramatic forms that extend beyond national borders, gendered identities, and reigning expressions of sovereignty. She critically and closely focuses on exemplary film texts from Latin America, Europe, and Asia to track their treatments of imperilled and marginal bodies within a global milieu by updating neorealism to render the effects and affects of dislocation as substantial and perceptible." - Marcia Landy, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, English, Film, University of Pittsburgh, USA"Drawing on the work of globally feted auteurs such as Almodóvar, Iñárritu, and Wong Kar-wai, Marcantonio carefully updates theories of film melodrama for our times. She analyzes the recalibration of familiar melodramatic tropes and concerns - body and community, delay and chance, realism and excess - without losing sight of significant continuities and local contingencies. Exploring how the genre/mode helps us make sense of globalization's far-reaching reorganization of quotidian lifeworlds, this useful work posits a break in melodrama's historical evolution." - Bhaskar Sarkar, author of Mourning the Nation: Indian Cinema in the Wake of Partition
