{"product_id":"the-cinema-of-sean-penn-deane-williams-9780231176255","title":"The Cinema of Sean Penn: In and Out of Place","description":"Although best known as an Academy Award winning actor, Sean Penn's directorial works \u003ci\u003eThe Indian Runner\u003c\/i\u003e (1991), \u003ci\u003eThe Crossing Guard\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), \u003ci\u003eThe Pledge\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), and \u003ci\u003eInto the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), consist of some of the most interesting and singular films made in the United States over the past twenty years. Each of Penn's directorial films and much of the cinema he has acted in are set in an immediate past in which a \"stalled\" time and a restricted locale apply narrative constraints. At the same time, these films all feature a sophisticated web of intertextual relations, involving actors, songs, books, films, and directors, and the political lineage to which Penn belongs, which reveal the deep cultural structures that concern each particular film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deane Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231176252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231176255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Deane Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45264981786879,"sku":"9780231176255","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d9b97a6-fb1b-4f5e-abf7-a257bf1659aa.jpg?v=1713419812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cinema-of-sean-penn-deane-williams-9780231176255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
