| Abstract | "Buildings on Fire takes a careful and nuanced look at Paul Verhoeven's body of work and its penchant for violence of various kinds. Exploring the breadth of this director's career, this book encompasses everything from his early short works as a student filmmaker in the 1960s to the most recently completed Benedetta (2021). Through this comprehensive approach, Paul Verhoeven's Cinema of Violence offers a passionate, nuanced, and comprehensive critical look at the cinematic output of one of the Netherlands' - and Hollywood's - most vital contemporary filmmakers"-- Provided by publisher. |
