{"product_id":"sleeping-with-strangers-david-thomson-9781101971024","title":"Sleeping with Strangers: How the Movies Shaped Desire","description":"In this wholly original work of film criticism, David Thomson, celebrated author of \u003ci\u003eThe Biographical Dictionary of Film\u003c\/i\u003e, probes the many ways in which sexuality has shaped the movies--and the ways in which the movies have shaped sexuality. Exploring the tangled notions of masculinity, femininity, beauty, and sex that characterize our cinematic imagination--and drawing on examples that range from advertising to pornography, \u003ci\u003eBonnie and Clyde\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e--Thomson illuminates how film as art, entertainment, and business has historically been a polite cover for a kind of erotic s ance. In so doing, he casts the art and the artists we love in a new light, and reveals how film can both expose the fault lines in conventional masculinity and point the way past it, toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person with desires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Thomson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1101971029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101971024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"David Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941425479935,"sku":"9781101971024","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4284a774-48c6-46d2-a107-4054b279fc61.jpg?v=1681452856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sleeping-with-strangers-david-thomson-9781101971024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
