Among them is Woody Allen, who has once again found himself in the spotlight due to historic charges of molestation. This edited volume, assembled by researchers, seeks to explore various aspects of women's representation in Hollywood cinema, examine the male perspective on writing women, and investigate the complex dynamics of relationships between and among women on screen. While acknowledging the inherent challenges of considering filmmaking as autobiographical, the book delves into the role and portrayal of women throughout Allen's extensive body of work, encompassing films, plays, stand-up comedy, and other writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven the recent resurgence of interest in Allen's work, particularly in light of Amazon Studios' decision not to distribute a completed film, this volume emerges as particularly timely. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing problematic nature of Allen's work and demands critical interrogation. Through its comprehensive analysis, the book sheds light on the enduring significance of examining the representation of women in Hollywood and the need to challenge and reassess the narratives that have been perpetuated for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 540g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 240 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789463722926\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44093493838074,"sku":"9789463722926","price":126.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1667570167850_book.jpg?v=1668084773","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/women-in-the-work-of-woody-allen-9789463722926","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
