Cover of Jude Davies: Falling Down (ePUB)

Falling Down (1993) caused controversy because of its depiction of violence and vigilantism, and was accused of racism in its portrayal of a Korean shopkeeper. Jude Davies explores the film’s production and reception context, arguing that it was marketed as a deliberate provocation to a growing ‘uncivility’ in American society.
