Delgado Paris has always exerted a magnetic force on artists, both from Europe and countries farther afield. This book examines the creation and development of communities of actors, directors, designers, and playwrights in Paris over the past thirty years. It shows how the willingness of the city to welcome international influences has enriched its creative life. Many of the most important trends and new developments in theatre have been the direct result of that creative combination of influences from all over the world. Incorporating both the views of academic experts and a range of practitioners, the authors show how this multicultural mix has resulted in the creation of new work that has enriched theatre’s potential to enlarge our thinking and imagination. David Bradby is Professor of Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London. Maria M. Delgado is Reader in Drama and Theatre Arts at Queen Mary, University of London.

Film and Theatre Studies WWW.UBCPRESS.CA/FILMTHEATRE Hollywood, Hype and Audiences Selling and Watching Popular Film in the 1990s Thomas Austin Hollywood, Hype and Audiences is a fascinating multi-dimensional investigation of popular film as a commercial, cultural, and social phenomenon. It traces the circulation in Britain of three Hollywood films – Basic Instinct, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Natural Born Killers – from marketing and critical reception to consumption in cinemas and on video. It draws on economic and discursive contexts and original audience research to trace how meanings, pleasures, and uses are derived from popular film. This book is both a significant intervention into methodological debates in film studies and a timely investigation of film culture, focusing on key questions about genre, taste, sexual pleasure, and screen violence. Thomas Austin is Lecturer in Media Studies, University of Sussex. MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS January 256 pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" illustrated ISBN 0-7190-5775-2 paper, $36.95 CRO Jean-Jacques Beineix Phil Powrie With a foreword by Jean-Jacques Beineix This is the first book to examine the films of Jean- Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films such as Diva and Betty Blue. The introduction places Beineix in the context of the 1980s with the arguments focusing on postmodern cinema. Powrie then devotes a chapter to each of Beineix’s feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film-making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Beineix and his films have often been at the centre of controversy. This volume explains the controversies and analyzes the films for their intrinsic interest. It includes a foreword by Jean-Jacques Beineix himself and a substantial filmography and bibliography. Phil Powrie is Professor of French Cultural Studies and Director of the Centre for Research into Film and Media, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PRESS January 240 pages, 5 x 8” illustrated ISBN 0-7190-5533-4 paper, $42.95 CRO Terence Fisher Peter Hutchings Terence Fisher is best known as the director who made most of the classic Hammer horrors. But there is more to him than Hammer horror. In a busy twenty-five year career he directed fifty films, not just horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas, and science fiction. This book offers an appreciation of all of Fisher’s films, providing a sense of his place in British film industry. It also casts a new and interesting light on the areas of British cinema within which Fisher worked.
