| Abstract
|
:
|
"Cinema and Community is the first book-length study of the way mainstream commercial cinema represents society's complex relationship with community. Critically engaging with the idea and practice of community, it provides an original and substantial analysis of contemporary films that treat community as a significant theme."--Jacket.
