What is Lost Angels : Psychoanalysis and Cinema about?

Re-reading Freud's writing on femininity, fantasy and social identification, __Lost Angels__ expands the psychoanalytic framework within which contemporary debates regarding fantasy and spectatorship have been taking place. Vicky Lebeau takes Freud's preoccupation with femininity and feminine fantasy as her starting point and goes on to explore his differentiation between masculine and feminine forms of fantasy through feminist and critical theories of spectatorship and cinema. Investigating how psychoanalysis explains fantasy as a form of preoccupation which cuts across both 'private' and 'public' forms of fantasy, Lebeau links discussion of the female spectator with the so-called 'malaise' of today's mass culture through her close readings of three key 'youth' films of the 1980's - John Hughes' __Ferris Bueller's Day Off__, Francis Coppola's __Rumble Fish__ and Tim Hunter's __River's Edge__. __Lost Angels__ is a ground-breading addition to current feminist film theory and essential reading for all students of film.
