Focusing on modernist films centered around bereavement, this comprehensive study explores the genre's origins in classical melodrama and horror cinema. It examines enduring themes and aesthetic techniques, extending its analysis to European and American intellectual melodramas from the postwar era. By establishing a taxonomy of characteristics, the book offers a detailed understanding of how these films reflect and interpret grief, making it a significant contribution to film studies.
