Film and Female Consciousness analyses three contemporary films that offer complex and original representations of womens thoughtfulness and individuality: In the Cut (2003); Lost in Translation (2003) and Morvern Callar (2002). Lucy Bolton compares these recent works with well-known and influential films that offer more familiar treatments of female subjectivity: Klute (1971); The Seven Year Itch (1955) and Marnie (1964). Considering each of the older; celebrated films alongside the recent; unconventional works illustrates how contemporary filmmaking techniques and critical practices can work together to create provocative depictions of on-screen female consciousness.Boltons approach demonstrates how the encounter between the philosophy of Luce Irigaray and cinema can yield a fuller understanding of the fundamental relationship between film and philosophy. Furthermore; the book explores the implications of this approach for filmmakers and spectators; and suggests Irigarayan models of authorship and spectatorship that reinvigorate the notion of womens cinema.
