Women's films are more popular now than at any time following the classical era. Postmodern Chick Flicks considers the reasons for the renewed popularity of female-orientated genres and examines the new film cycles this has produced. Focusing on melodrama, romantic comedy, costume drama and female-led noirs, the book looks at the revival of these forms and the way in which they blend classical and contemporary themes and formal devices.
