Book Reviews of Femmes Fatales: Feminism, Film Theory, Psychoanalysis

Book Review: For those who love Film Noir and fatales!
Summary: 5 Stars

Mary Ann Doane's book, "Femme Fatales" has a great cover with the wonderful Louise Brooks. The essays and articles helped explain feminism and the film industry. It's sad to believe that the film industry will always be a male industry but that's the way it is. We learn from the book about how the audience including ourselves are manipulated by the director's. The author does an excellent job in bringing together the feminine mystique from female's point of view and males at times as well. The femme fatale, long may she rein.
