Dear colleagues,

Writer-director Todd Haynes has previously recounted how film scholar Pam Cook's 1978 foundational article "Duplicity in MILDRED PIERCE" informed his 2011 HBO miniseries adaptation of James M. Cain's novel (an effective remaking of Michael Curtiz' 1945 film). Now, in her new essay for the open access serial SEQUENCE (a REFRAME<http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/> publication), Cook turns her attention to Haynes' miniseries and its intertextual chain of makings and remakings, and explores, in particular, how we come to read it (or any other audiovisual artefact) as "maternal melodrama." Her essay is online here:  http://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/sequence2/archive/sequence-2-2/.

Best wishes

Dr <http://www.sussex.ac.uk/mediaandfilm/people/list/person/183852> <http://www.sussex.ac.uk/mediaandfilm/people/list/person/183852> Catherine Grant<http://www.sussex.ac.uk/mediaandfilm/people/list/person/183852>
