| Abstract | "Covering everything from Hollywood films to Soviet cinema, London's queer spaces to spaceships and horror architecture, Screen Interiors presents an array of innovative perspectives on film design. Authors explore how design can facilitate action and amplify tensions, how rooms are employed as structural devices and how designed spaces can contribute to the construction of identities. With a lens on class, sexuality and identity across a range of films including Twilight of a Woman's Soul (1913), Caravaggio (1986), and Passengers (2016), and illustrated with film stills throughout, this book showcases methodological approaches for the study of film and design history"-- Provided by publisher. |
