Cinema of obsession

Dominique Mainon, James Ursini

"In Cinema of Obsession, film scribes Dominique Mainon and James Ursini tackle stories of love and its many dark permutations - the male domination of Phantom of the Opera and The Collector, the star-crossed love stories of Romeo and Juliet and Bonnie and Clyde, the violent female obsession of Mulholland Drive and Fatal Attraction - all of these and dozens more are discussed in depth, analyzed, and dissected. In addition to plot description, character analysis, and commentary, Mainon and Ursini offer psychological profiles of cinemas most infamous and tortured characters. No stone is left unturned in this, the first comprehensive guide to the twisted side of romantic cinema."--Jacket.
