<div>Announcing the release of Deb Verhoeven's book on Jane Campion
(Routledge, 2009).<br>
<br>
This book will be of particular interest to anyone teaching or
researching in the areas of Auteur Studies; Australian and/or New
Zealand cinema; Film distribution and marketing; Celebrity Studies;
Women's studies; Film criticism and journalism. <br>
</div>
<div><b>Description</b><br>
In this detailed account of Jane Campion's career as a filmmaker, Deb
Verhoeven examines specifically how contemporary film directors
'fashion' themselves as auteurs - through their personal
interactions with the media, in their choice of projects, in their
emphasis on particular filmmaking techniques and finally in the
promotion of their films.<br>
<br>
The book examines in depth the circulation and status of Campion's
'auteur-name' for three authorising audiences: the media, the film
industry and academics.<br>
<br>
Through analysis of key approaches to Campion's films, such as The
Piano; In the Cut; Sweetie; An Angel at My Table; and Holy Smoke
Verhoeven introduces students to the passionate debates surrounding
this controversial and often experimental director.<br>
<br>
The book features a career overview, a filmography, scene-by-scene
analysis and an extended interview with Campion on her approach to
creativity.<br>
