David Rankin

Film and the Afterlife (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how post-death existence is represented in popular film, looking at issues such as continuity, personal identity, and the nature of existence beyond the grave. Film often returns to the theme of dying, death and the afterlife, both directly and indirectly, because there are very few subjects as compelling and universal.
