| Sumario: | Examines how extreme cinema mobilises explicit content and highly embellished aesthetics to affect spectatorsExtreme Cinema examines the highly stylized treatment of sex and violence in post-millennial transnational cinema, where the governing convention is not the narrative but the spectacle. Using profound experiments in form and composition, including jarring editing, extreme close-ups, visual disorientation and sounds that straddle the boundary between non-diegetic and diegetic registers, this mode of cinema dwells instead on the exhibition of intense violence and an acute intimacy with the sexual body. Interrogating works such as Wetlands and A Serbian Film, as well as the sub-culture of YouTube 'reaction videos', Aaron Michael Kerner and Jonathan L. Knapp demonstrate the way content and form combine in extreme cinema to affectively manipulate the viewing body.Key featuresConsiders a wide scope of international approaches to extreme cinemaDraws together a diverse body of theoretical ideas to work towards a conceptualisation of the affective potential in the cinemaEngages critically with films that have received little scholarly attentionCases studies include Wetlands, A Serbian Film and Helter Skelter. |
