Film ParodyBFI Pub., 2000 - 153 pages "Academy Awards now go to film parodies, audiences make a star of the parodic actor Leslie Neilson, and even the "band" Spinal Tap does a live reunion tour. In other words, parody has been entirely co-opted by a culture, and a culture industry, steeped in irony. For these reasons and more, Harries concludes that film parody is one of the most vibrant modes of contemporary film-making."--BOOK JACKET. |
