Summary

Brokeback Mountain was a milestone in American independent filmmaking. Based on the popular short story by Annie Proulx and directed by the Taiwanese born Ang Lee for Focus Features, Brokeback Mountain placed a love story between two men at the heart of American mythology, spectatorship and film genre. The film offered both an independent and queer revision of the conventions and clichés of the Hollywood melodrama and the western through its studied exploration of the sexuality, repression and desire of two latter-day cowboys. This book introduces Brokeback Mountain as an independent film by exploring the film's central drama of sexuality through key ideas in film studies.Key features*Offers an overview of Focus Features as a hybrid company that operates across the mainstream and independent cinema sectors *Examines Brokeback Mountain in relationship to the genres of the western and melodrama.*Positions Brokeback Mountain within the context of gay film spectatorship and queer cinema*Examines the reception of Brokeback Mountain.
