In a time of great social turmoil, Peckinpah's on-screen orchestration of physical and emotional violence drew adamant praise for what some considered fearless realism and vehement criticism for what others called tasteless gore and brutal misogyny. Debate over the violence and sexual themes of Peckinpah's films often eclipsed aesthetic appreciation of his work. A favorite target of 1970s feminist critics, feminist social debate and the director's own combative persona usually prevented reasoned evaluation of his films. A prevalent autheurist view did not recognize how Peckinpah was subject to the whims and character of an industry in which he rarely navigated successfully. While the passage of time has muted the initial shock value of his filmed violence, no similar reappraisal has ever dealt with those initial misperceptions of misogyny, and looked to reevaluate his on-screen treatment of women. Peckinpah's women examines the confluence of factors that worked with, and often against, Peckinpah's filmic voice to divine a recurring positive 520 theme regarding women in those films that form the heart of his body of work: his period Westerns. 600 10 Peckinpah, Sam,|d1925-1984|xCriticism and interpretation. 650 0 Women in motion pictures. 830 0 Filmmakers series ;|vno. 90. 935 GLADN84531263 957 OCLC xref loaded 20140928 964 PFA PN1998.3.P43M47 2001. |bCAT/A 994 02|bCUY
