Is the bio-pic a genre in its own right? Or are such films merely footnotes in other more traditional genres such as the western or costume drama, depending on the historical figure under scrutiny. Unlike other genre forms bio-pics seemingly share no familiar iconography, codes or conventions. They can be set anywhere and at any time. What links them is quite simply that the films depict the life of an 'important' person. Through a carefully selected range of thematically linked (English-language) bio-pics released since 1990 this book explores key issues surrounding their resurgence, narrative structure, production, subject representation or misrepresentation, and critical response. The films under discussion are grouped around a profession (writers, singers, politicians, sportsmen, criminals, artists) allowing for comparisons to be drawn in approaches to similar subject matter. -- Provided by publisher Biographical films History and criticism Biographical films (OCoLC)fst00832143 fast Criticism, interpretation, etc fast (OCoLC)fst01411635 https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9780231850681 Uni Basel: Volltext https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9780231850681 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 De Gruyter PDA SSH eBooks De Gruyter PDA STM eBooks E-Books von 360MarcUpdates PDA Package: All eBook Content, incl.
