Looking for Trouble: On Shopping, Gender and the CinemaIn her articles and essays, Suzanne Moore takes a vitriolic look at the icons of modern life - post-feminism, Baudrillard, Laura Ashley, Twin Peaks, the New Man, Safe Sex, James Bond, a Green Planet. In her film reviews, she dissects the 'mega' filmmakers of our time: Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, Pedro Almod'var, Ken Russell and David Lynch. Definitely not 'one of the boys', Suzanne Moore's attitude to the good and famous is refreshing and irreverent. |
