Beskrivning
The term ‘Gothic’ has been applied to examples of Australian cinema since the 1970s, often in arbitrary and divergent ways. This book examines a wide range of Australian films to trace their Gothic resemblances, characteristics and meanings. By concentrating on the occurrence of Gothic motifs, characters, landscapes and narratives, it argues for the recognition and relevance of a coherent Gothic heritage in Australian film. A plethora of Gothic representatives are considered in relation to four consistent and illuminating continuities (images of the family, ideas of monstrosity, generic hybridity and the occurrence of the sublime), and this study debates the appearance and asserts the significance of Australian Gothic films within their national, cultural, literary and cinematic traditions.

Recensioner i media
Jonathan Rayner is already indelibly the most sustained, probing and erudite explorer of Gothic in Australian cinema. In this very welcome book, he goes further in showing Australian cinema since the New Wave to be shot through with the Gothic forces of the uncanny, the fantastic and the sublime.
