520 |a Fatal Attraction (1987) established itself as one of American cinema's most controversial films. This book surveys the film{8217}s formal features and its ideological impact, paying special attention to its signature mix of sexuality, fear, and family values. It examines the formal techniques the film employs to create suspense, such as turning ordinary household objects into agents of terror. It considers the film's mixed-genre status as a thriller, melodrama, horror picture, and film noir. It offers an explanation and analysis of the cultural impact of the film, especially due to its treatment of single career women. It also investigates the film's handling of extramarital sexuality, pregnancy, birth control, and AIDS and discusses the film's lasting role in shaping American gender politics.
