Beskrivning

Falling Down (1993) caused controversy because of its depiction of violence and vigilantism, and was accused of racism in its portrayal of a Korean shopkeeper. Jude Davies explores the film's production and reception context, arguing that it was marketed as a deliberate provocation to a growing 'uncivility' in American society.

Recensioner i media

'He [Davies] deserves congratulation for having produced a lucid and engaging account of the cultural influences that helped to shape Falling Down's ideological inconsistencies, and for his thought-provoking analysis of the controversies to which these gave rise.' - Deborah Allison, Senses of Cinema, Issue 70, March 2014
