*CHOICE, June 2010*
Kylo-Patrick Hart’s impassioned and insightful exploration of
controversial auteur Gregg Araki is another laudatory achievement
for this award-winning scholar. By combining his years of teaching
auteur studies with an immense knowledge of Araki’s work, Hart
raises thought provoking questions about the director’s career
trajectory and places him within the context of the New Queer
Cinema. The author’s unique approach to his subject is what makes
this treatise unique. His integrative study of Araki's film
grammar, unique storytelling devices, problematic sexual politics,
and fan reception are arranged within the chronological arch of the
director’s oeuvre. Images for a Generation Doomed will be a welcome
addition both to film libraries and to college and graduate courses
in media and cultural studies. It truly is an unforgettable book
about an unforgettable director.
