5.0 out of 5 stars
From the LIBRARY JOURNAL (1/20/2009),
By
This review is from: Obscene, Indecent, Immoral and Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned, and Controversial Films (Paperback)
Verdict: Tropiano tackles a century of film censorship, providing solid information, intriguing anecdotes, and fine analytical commentary. Film and popular culture enthusiasts will find this a valuable asset in academic and circulating libraries.
Background: Tropiano (Rebels & Chicks: A History of the Hollywood Teen Movie) explores major censorship targets--language, violence, sex, nudity, politics, and religion--and cites diverse examples of controversial films to demonstrate the impact of regulatory guidelines during various eras and to outline the breadth of questions and compromises that factored into ratings and related decisions. This study is not a recitation of rules and cases but rather a thoughtfully researched and presented analysis of a major facet of film culture.--Carol J. Binkowski, Bloomfield, NJ |
