Cindy Sherman's Office Killer

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'An immersion in the world of 'Office Killer'' -- Will Brooker, editor of Cinema Journal 'Smart, sassy, and scholarly all at once, this is a wonderful book' -- Toby Miller 'Schweitzer succeeds in doing what she set out to do--valorizing 'Office Killer'- by dissecting it in such a vivid and compelling way that it can be seen in a new light. Even though I appeared in the film, I dismissed it, along with everyone else. But I now see its importance-and its connections to films like Mildred Pierce, which I just so happen to love. Reading the book, I felt like I was in my very own seminar with Professor Schweitzer, emerging from the experience with knowledge of Cindy Sherman, mass media, gender identity, and more. ' -- Florina Rodov, who played the receptionist in 'Office Killer' 'Constitutes an astute but always accessible guide through the film itself and the multiple relevant critical contexts she points to incisively as informing it.' -- Deborah Jermyn, Reader in Film and TV, University of Roehampton
