Joseph Losey

Employing recent interdisciplinary methodologies derived from Cultural Studies and postructural theory, the book explores and clarifies Losey´s films uneasy tension between issues of class and gender (the Brechtian dialectician) and their more baroque explorations of fractured temporality (the Nietzschean "poet of mirrors"). Of interest to students and film enthusiasts alike, this is the first full-length critical analysis of Losey´s British films in the context of his entire career.
