{"product_id":"9781841505541","title":"Un-American Psycho: Brian de Palma and the Political Invisible","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrian De Palma is perhaps best known as the director behind the gangster classic \u003ci\u003eScarface\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet as ingrained as \u003ci\u003eScarface \u003c\/i\u003eis in American popular culture, it is but one of a sizeable number of controversial films—many of which are consistently misread or ignored—directed by De Palma over his more than four-decade career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e            In \u003ci\u003eUn-American Psycho,\u003c\/i\u003e Chris Dumas places De Palma’s body of work in dialogue with the works of other provocative filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and Francis Ford Coppola with the aim of providing a broader understanding of the narrative, stylistic, and political gestures that characterize De Palma’s filmmaking. De Palma’s films engage with a wide range of issues surrounding American political and social culture, and this volume offers a rethinking of the received wisdom on his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050670637296,"sku":"9781841505541","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781841505541_p0.jpg?v=1763740447","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841505541","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
