Rhodes Editorial Board: Kelly Basilio, Donna Campbell, Claire Perkins, Christopher Sharrett, and Yannis Tzioumakis ReFocus is a series of contemporary methodological and theoretical approaches to the interdisciplinary analyses and interpretations of neglected American directors, from the once-famous to the ignored, in direct relationship to American culture—its myths, values, and historical precepts. The series ignores no director who created a historical space—either in or out of the studio system—beginning from the origins of American cinema and up to the present. These directors produced film titles that appear in university film history and genre courses across international boundaries, and their work is often seen on television or available to download or purchase, but each suffers from a form of “canon envy”; directors such as these, among other important figures in the general history of American cinema, are underrepresent ed in the critical dialogue, yet each has created American narratives, works of film art, that warrant attention. ReFocus brings these American film directors to a new audience of scholars and general readers of both American and Film Studies. Titles in the series include: ReFocus: The Films of Preston Sturges Edited by Jeff Jaeckle and Sarah Kozloff ReFocus: The Films of Delmer Daves Edited by Matthew Carter and Andrew Nelson ReFocus: The Films of Amy Heckerling Edited by Frances Smith and Timothy Shary ReFocus: The Films of Budd Boetticher Edited by Gary D.

  • Hooked on Hughes
    Radboud University hooked on Hughes A feminist consideration of Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink. Kelly Thijssen 3037320 American Studies – Bachelor Thesis Dr. Mathilde Roza 7 November 2016 Thijssen, 3037320/2 Abstract This thesis explores how John Hughes’s teen films Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink reinforce traditional ideas about gender, class, sexuality, and race. Each film was subjected to a combination of narrative and semiotic analysis, revealing that patriarchal ideals are embedded in Hughes’ film language. The findings of each analysis were then interpreted in a segment of discussion using feminist theory and cultural criticism of bell hooks as a primary source.

  • Growing Pains Coming of Age Is a Subject That Never Gets Old
    Growing Pains Coming of age is a subject that never gets old. From sexual awakening to peer pressure to work responsibilities, it’s an endless source of material. In a collection of rare set shots, we see how generations of directors have handled it. LIFE COACHING: (above) Nicholas Ray started out shooting Rebel Without a Cause (1955), with James Dean and Natalie Wood, in black and white. But when the studio switched to color, he insisted that Dean wear the now-iconic red jacket. Ray researched the film by riding around with L.A. gangs. (opposite) David M. Evans had intended to use nine and 10-year-olds for The Sandlot (1993), based partially on his own childhood. But when he started casting, he quickly realized that the kids needed to be older. 54 dga quarterly PHOTOS: (LEFT) WARNER BROS./THE KOBAL COLLECTION; (RIGHT) 20TH CENTURY FOX/COURTESY AMPAS dga quarterly 55 STREETWISE: For Crooklyn (1994), loosely based on his own experiences with his GOLDEN GIRLS: Sofia Coppola wanted to shoot the lives of four sisters in The Virgin siblings growing up in Brooklyn, Spike Lee didn’t want to hire professional actors because Suicides (1999) as they would be observed from “the boy across the street.
