Insightful analysis of wide range of Indian films
2004/11/21
形式:ペーパーバック
This book looks at all the well-known films-- My Beautiful Laundrette, Mississippi Masala, Monsoon Wedding, Bend It Like Beckham. But it goes beyond to also examine films that aren't as talked about in the U.S.-- Fire, My Son the Fanatic, Bhaji on the Beach, and Masala. Throughout, Desai's analysis is in-depth, yet also accessible for the non-academic who just likes to read about Indian movies. Drawing on feminist and queer theory, Beyond Bollywood guides us to a fuller understanding of the significance of these films.

an assertion or appeal to a cultural identity
2006/6/22
形式:ペーパーバック
Bollywood is a vast cultural melange of its own. Quite distinct in many respects from the better known Hollywood. Desai gives the reader an indepth analysis of Bollywood. Not at a vapid, superficial level of a star-struck tabloid. Instead, the book explains the complex interplay of sex, race, religion and nationalism. Not all of these appear in the same movie, of course. But the survey across the ensemble of Bollywood movies reveals a tangle of threads.
Now what of "diasporic" in the title? It refers in part to the marketing of films towards an Indian or Pakistani immigrant community in Europe or North America. In part to assert or appeal to a cultural identity amongst this diaspora, that garners an audience. One way to compete against mainstream Hollywood films, that have far greater budgets.

This book is a must-have!
2004/2/16
形式:ハードカバー
I can't image that any bookshelf would be complete without this book on it. Jigna Desai is astute and clever, and her writing is both complex and accessible. It is clear that she is an expert on Bollywood, and her critical perspectives left me wanting more. This is a great book!!!
