In addition to readings of Ray's most celebrated films, the book provides a range of approaches to his life and work, engaging new questions of his cinematic authorship with areas that include history and culture, politics and society, gender and sexuality, style and genre, performance, technology, and popular music. The collection also looks at Ray's lesser-known and underappreciated films, and devotes attention to the highly experimental \u003ci\u003eWe Can't Go Home Again\u003c\/i\u003e, his recently restored final film made in the 1970s with his students at Binghamton University, State University of New York. Rediscovering what Ray means to contemporary film studies, the essays show how his films continue to possess a vital power for film history and criticism, and for film culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Rybin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438449801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438449807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 7.47w x 0.77d","brand":"Steven Rybin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458272145663,"sku":"9781438449807","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e941c194-de06-4f74-ad07-171bc09c2e2a.jpg?v=1777403403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lonely-places-dangerous-ground-steven-rybin-9781438449807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
