In HIGH CONTRAST, author Sharon Willis examines the dynamic relationships between racial and sexual difference in Hollywood films from the 1980s and 1990s. Seizing on the way such differences are sensationalized and eroticized on screen--with little regard for political context--Willis restores that context through close reviews of a wide range of movies, such as LETHAL WEAPON, FATAL ATTRACTION, PULP FICTION, and others.In HIGH CONTRAST, author Sharon Willis examines the dynamic relationships between racial and sexual difference in Hollywood films from the 1980s and 1990s.
