Sarah Street is a leading scholar in film studies, whose work delves into the intricate relationship between cinema and its broader cultural and architectural contexts. Her research often explores the transatlantic flow of cinematic ideas and innovations, particularly focusing on European and British film traditions. She has a distinguished interest in the historical development of filmmaking technologies, such as the introduction of color and the specifics of British Technicolor.
Costume and Dress Codes in Popular Film presents an overview of the literature on film costume, together with a series of detailed case studies which highlight how costume is a key signifier in film texts. Sarah Street demonstrates how costume relates in fundamental ways to the study of film narrative and mise-en-scene, in some cases constituting a language of its own. In particular the book foregrounds the related issues of adaptation and embodiment in a variety of different genres and investigates this under-explored area through extensive analysis of popular films including The Talented Mr Ripley, Desperately Seeking Susan, and The Matrix.
