Description
This book uses in-depth case studies to explore the significance of the design of the home on screen. The case studies employ a methodology Barnwell has pioneered for the analysis of production design called Visual Concept Analysis, which can be used as a key to decode the design of any given film.
“It is precisely because of this fascinating paradox … that Barnwell chose the cinematic home as the subject for her book. … Nice how Barnwell takes the time to examine the films discussed … . While reading you get very excited to watch masterpieces like Parasite and Get Out (again), and to go on a journey of discovery yourself with the production design glasses on. If you learn one thing from reading this book, it's that almost every feature film deserves such an intensive house search.” (Kevin Tom, de Volkskrant, volkskrant.nl, August 10, 2022)
