Biographical note
Alexia Kannas is Lecturer in Media and Cinema Studies in the School of Media and Communication, RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. She is the author of Deep Red."…[Kannas] offers fresh insights into the <i>giallo</i> film—especially concerning its use of excess and decadence to register the last gasp of modernity and modernism—that make the volume valuable to those interested in cult movies and popular Italian cinema." — <i>CHOICE</i><br /><br />"This is a distinctive text that crosses the boundaries of national cinema, popular forms, theoretical works of modernity and modernism, and spectatorship. Kannas does an excellent job of blending different aspects of film and cultural theory, reception, and textuality. It's a pleasure to read." — Marcia Landy, author of <i>Stardom, Italian Style: Screen Performance and Personality in Italian Cinema</i>
