Middlebrow Cinema argues that the centre has been too long overlooked. Reaching beyond popular and art alternatives, the volume explores films that may be middling - even mediocre - by reassessing and reinvigorating the term 'middlebrow'. This ambitious and wide-ranging volume brings together experts in a variety of national and transnational cinemas to examine the different meanings of this term in multiple contexts, from Spain emerging from dictatorship to democracy, to the consumer boom in contemporary China. With 11 original essays offering case studies from around the globe, including the UK, USA, Europe, Asia and Latin America, this is ideal for students as well as researchers.
