Cinema of Confinement

Draws on a number of key psychoanalytic concepts from the works of Jacques Lacan, Slavoj Zizek, Joan Copjec, Michel Chion, and Todd McGowan to identify and describe a genre of cinema characterized by spatial confinement. Examining classic films, Connelly shows that the source of enjoyment of confined spaces lies in the viewer's relationship to excess.
