From the ever-popular \u003ci\u003eFaces of Death\u003c\/i\u003e movies to purported snuff films, from classic B-movies such as \u003ci\u003eThe Tingler, \u003c\/i\u003e to more popular but no less controversial films such as The \u003ci\u003eTexas Chainsaw Massacre, \u003c\/i\u003e Brottman takes a wide-eyed look at movies most folks watch only through parted fingers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While most critics have been quick to dismiss such films as mere shock-fests (if they even bother to talk about them at all), Brottman argues that these movies tell us quite a bit about who we are as a society, what makes us anxious, and what taboos we truly believe cannot be crossed. Part anthropology, part psychoanalysis, \u003ci\u003eOffensive Films\u003c\/i\u003e vivisects these movies in order to figure out just what about them is so offensive, obscene, or bizarre. In the end, Brottman proves that these films, shunned from the cinematic canon, work on us in sophisticated ways we often choose to remain unaware of.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.96 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 03, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344195502329,"sku":"9780826514912","price":71.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/sGtdaRiF2z9780826514912_9f3603fa-8df8-469d-9aee-aa1508cf9af1.webp?v=1769729293","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/offensive-films-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
