Sprache: Englisch

Ein umfassender Überblick der Erotik, beginnend in der Literatur und Mythologie hin zu einem ausführlichen Expose des Themas im modernen Film.

Cinema of Obsession: Erotic Fixation and Love Gone Wrong in the Movies by Dominique Mainon and James Ursini first traces the history of obsessive love and erotic fixation in literature and myth and then breaks out into a full-length overview of the theme in modern cinema. From its roots in the myths of Ovid such as Pygmalion-Galatea, Pysche and Cupid, and Narcissus through medieval tales of tragic love triads like that of Arthur-Guenivere-Lancelot and Mark-Isolde-Tristan to the Romantic tales of the Brontes and twentieth-century works of the erotic writers like Lawrence and Anais Nin, the theme has become one of the most indestructible motifs in modern cinema. From the authors of The Modern Amazons: Warrior Women On-Screen, this book also contains hundreds of illustrations, a filmography of over one hundred films.
