    DER WEISSE HAI revisited
    Steven Spielbergs JAWS zählt zu den erfolgreichsten und wichtigsten Werken der amerikanischen Filmgeschichte. Er weist noch Spuren des kritischen New-Hollywood-Kinos auf, markiert aber zu-gleich den Beginn der Ära der Sommer-Blockbuster. Damals wie heute funktioniert die Jagd auf den Weißen Hai als brillanter Unterhaltungsstoff und virtuos inszenierte Synthese aus Horror- und Abenteuerfilm (mit unübersehbaren Anleihen aus der christlichen Mythologie wie auch der ameri-kanischen Kulturgeschichte). Doch unter der Oberfläche dieses Films - der im wörtlichen Sinne in die Tiefe führt - lauern Paranoia, die Traumatisierung der US-Gesellschaft und die Krise der Männlichkeit. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge über die Produktionsgeschichte des Films, seine historische Bedeutung im US-Kino, die von ihm aufgegriffenen Genremuster und die Filmmusik; hinzu kommen vertiefende Interpretationen etwa aus genderkritischer, psychoanalytischer und politischer Perspektive.

    Death Note - Box 2
    "Kira" und L liefern sich weiterhin ihr tödliches Duell. Mittlerweile ist jedoch eine neue Schachfigur auf dem Spielfeld aufgetaucht: Misa, ein Popsternchen, das ebenfalls ein Death Note in die Hände bekommen hat. Auch sie bringt mithilfe des Notizbuches Menschen um, ist allerdings weit weniger geschickt als Light. Um sich L's Schlinge zu entziehen, bleibt Light daher nichts anderes übrig, als das Buch abzugeben und seine Erinnerung vorübergehend auszulöschen. Damit rückt zunächst die Firma Yotsuba in den Vordergrund der Ermittlungen, die mit den neuesten Todesfällen in Zusammenhang gebracht werden kann. Doch als Light schließlich sein Buch zurückerlangt und selbst wieder zu morden beginnt, scheint auch L seinem Größenwahn keine Grenzen mehr setzen zu können ...Das morbide Meisterwerk von Madhouse (Black Lagoon, Paranoia Agent) hat längst Kultstatus erreicht - klug geschrieben und vollgepackt mit Spannung!

    Barbary Shore: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
    Published at the height of the McCarthy era, Norman Mailer's audacious novel of socialism is at once an elegy and an indictment, a sinuous moral thriller and an intellectual slugfest. Wounded during World War II, Mike Lovett is an amnesiac, and much of his past is a secret to himself. But when Lovett rents a room in Brooklyn, he finds that his housemates have secrets of their own: one betrays a husband no one ever sees; another may have been a Communist executioner. Combining Kafkaesque unease with Orwellian paranoia, Barbary Shore plays havoc with our certainties and delivers its effects with a force that is pure Mailer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: MacLeod Andrews. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/brll/008502/bk_brll_008502_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
