WELCOME TO JUNK FILM¿¿Entire libraries of criticism study good art. Who studies bad art?For the most part, bad movies have been buried by their creators, or have circulated in midnight screenings and Reddit threads. They've been used for humor by Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Red Letter Media, and presented as outrageous spectacle by critics and commentators. Rarely have bad movies been studied.JUNK FILM's thirteen essays explore the failures of specific works created between the 1940s and the 2010s. Each demonstrates a different kind of failure, from mixing incompatible genres (Cop Rock) to stacking a screenplay with sociopaths (Staying Alive). The book uses a few basic theses about bad film and television to unpack these failures. Importantly, it shows what students of film can learn from bad movies: how to make art that works via watching art that doesn't. Junk Film bridges film scholarship and pop culture criticism with wit and warmth.

Nagourney takes her readers on a deep plunge into the dark underside of the Parisian and French high art milieu, casting unwelcome light on the low lives who play an outsized role in that milieu. Her fast-paced page turner, populated by multiple and ever-changing personalities, keeps us guessing not so much "who-dunnit" but "are they really going to get away with it?" -- Tom Peebles, TomsBooksWhen an old school friend is mugged after taking photographs at a wealthy magazine publisher's chateau, a French-American translator teams up with a disgruntled FBI agent to infiltrate a violent organized crime operation in a tony landscape of villas and galleries, navigating a lethal atmosphere of art, money and murder.When her school pal is mugged on the Paris metro, recently-returned translator Alex Thornhill becomes certain that powerful magazine publisher Jacques Mornnais is behind the attack.
