Review
'Melanie Wright not only provides fascinating discussion of a range of important movies, but also moves the fledgling field of 'religion and film' to the next stage by drawing attention to concepts, questions and themes that undergird this exciting interdisciplinary endeavour. Religion and Film: An Introduction is a must-read for anyone interested in the integral relationship between religion and film in Hollywood and beyond. It will also prove an indispendable text for undergraduates and their teachers.' - Adele Reinhartz, Associate Vice-President of Research, and Professor of Religion & Classics, University of Ottawa 'The developing field of religion and film is very new and encourages a wide range of different interests and approaches, as Melanie Wright rightly acknowledges in this substantial contribution to film and religion studies. The whole area has not yet developed very far, is something of a hodge-podge, and to a certain degree we do not yet know what we are doing. By selecting a particular systematic approach to religion and film - which incorporates an analysis of narrative, style, content and reception - Wright makes a great step forward for the whole field. Her cultural studies approach to the topic proposes a clearly defined solution to the subject's fragmentariness: a challenge that is long overdue. Moreover, the account she gives of each film that she considers is thorough, fascinating and enlightening.' - William L Blizek, Professor of Philosophy and Religion, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and Editor of The Journal of Religion and FilmWESTMINSTER PAPERS IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTUREDr Wright deserves congratulations on this interesting book. Its 203 pages cover such a wide spread and, with its extensive notes and bibliography, it would be useful to anyone who is working in this area. It would be a good, readable book from which to start teaching students. Maria Way
