Providing a detailed reading of both classical and contemporary films – for example, \u003cem\u003eKill Bill, Blue Velvet, Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix, Psycho, The Accused, Elephant, Seven, Thelma \u0026amp; Louise, United 93, Zodiac,\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNo Country for Old Men\u003c\/em\u003e – Alison Young returns the affective processes of the cinematic image to the study of law, crime and violence. Engaging with legal theory, cultural criminology and film studies, the book unfolds both our attachment to the authority of law and our identification with the illicit. Its original contribution is to bring together the cultural fascination of crime with a nuanced account of what it means to watch cinema. \u003cem\u003eThe Scene of Violence\u003c\/em\u003e shows how the spectator is bound by the laws of film to the judgment of the crime-image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45590416490734,"sku":"9780415585088","price":80.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415585088_f150ed97-e4b9-4634-bce5-340e164f5c9b.jpg?v=1721234238","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/scene-of-violence","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
