| 'This is an exciting and timely book. Through in-depth film analysis, clever reformulation of transnational visual culture, and simultaneous attention to form and affect, Kerner and Knapp open up our world to the intensive capacities of what they judiciously call the "viewing bodies of extreme cinema".' Tarek Elhaik, University of California, Davis Extreme Cinema examines the highly stylized treatment of sex and violence in post-millennial transnational cinema, where the governing convention is not the narrative but the spectacle. Using profound experiments in form and composition, including jarring editing, extreme close-ups, visual disorientation, and sounds that straddle the boundary between non-diegetic and diegetic registers, this mode of cinema dwells instead on the exhibition of intense violence and an acute intimacy with the sexual body. Interrogating works such as Wetlands and A Serbian Film, as well as the sub-culture of YouTube 'reaction videos', Aaron Michael Kerner and Jonathan L. Knapp demonstrate the way content and form combine in extreme cinema to affectively manipulate the viewing body. Aaron Michael Kerner has taught in the SFSU Cinema Department since 2003. Jonathan L. Knapp is a PhD student in Film and Visual Studies at Harvard University.
