  Through close readings of films by US filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Errol Morris, and, Joel and Ethan Coen, this work studies provocative, disorienting strategies of genre mixing in contemporary cinema. It also explores foreign parallels to US hybrid cinema in films by such directors as Pedro Almodovar and Stephen Chow.
