This book features an in-depth analysis of the worlds most popular movie, The Shawshank Redemption, delving into issues such as: the significance of race in the film, its cinematic debt to earlier genres, the gothic influences at work in the movie, and the representation of Andys poster art as cross-gendered signifiers. In addition to exploring the film and novella from which it was adapted, this book also traces the history of the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio, which served as the films central location, and its relationship to the movies fictional Shawshank Prison. The last chapter examines why this film has remained both a popular and critical success, inspiring diverse fan bases on the Internet and the evolution of the Shawshank Trail, fourteen of the films actual site locations that have become a major tourist attraction in central Ohio.

Recensioner i media

The Shawshank Experience: Tracking the History of the Worlds Favorite Movie is an easy read, full of interesting anecdotes and trivia about the film, and its an excellent research tool for anyone doing Stephen King studies, genre film studies, audience reception, fan studies, and academic approaches to the American penal system as it intersects with its presentation in films. (Lynda Haas, The Journal of the Fantastic in the Art, Vol. 30 (2), 2020)
