Utilizing a wealth of new material--including interviews with Campion and her sister and personal writings of her mother--Fox traces the connections between the filmmaker's complex background and the thematic preoccupations of her films, from her earliest short, Peel, to 2009's Bright Star. He establishes how Campion's deep investment in family relationships informs her aesthetic strategies, revealed in everything from the handling of shots and lighting, to the complex system of symbolic images repeated from one film to the next"--Publisher description. 600 10 Campion, Jane,|d1954-|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Campion, Jane,|d1954-|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00292074 600 17 Campion, Jane|d1954-|2gnd|0(DE-588)119288516 600 17 Campion, Jane,|d1954-|2gnd|0(DE-601)08009466X 630 07 Bibel|pPhilemonbrief|2gnd|0(DE-588)4075950-7 650 0 Women motion picture producers and directors|zNew Zealand. 650 7 Women motion picture producers and directors.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01178163 650 7 Film|2gnd|0(DE-601)104559683 651 7 New Zealand.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204542 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iOnline version:|aFox, Alistair.|tJane Campion. |dBloomington : Indiana University Press, ©2011 |w(OCoLC)929536015 956 %date|bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20180121 994 C0|bCUY
