No rating yet(0 ratings)Monique Rooney's Living Screens: Melodrama and Plasticity in Contemporary Film and Television is a hardcover Performing Arts Books title, SKU sku-44714145. It analyzes Matthew Weiner's Mad Men, Lars von Trier's Melancholia and Todd Haynes's Mildred Pierce alongside Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Pygmalion.
Rooney argues that Pygmalion's story of sculpted objects coming to life prefigures contemporary melodrama and offers a way to think about our interactions with media. The book treats melodrama as a plastic form that can mould and be moulded, and examines the thrills, anxieties and uncertainties of living with screens.
