Summary

Looking for Trouble Summary

Looking for Trouble: Writing on Film, Consumption and the Tyranny of gender by Moore

In her articles and essays, Suzanne Moore takes a vitriolic look at the icons of modern life - post-feminism, Baudrillard, Laura Ashley, Twin Peaks, the New Man, Safe Sex, James Bond, a Green Planet. In her film reviews, she dissects the 'mega' filmmakers of our time: Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, Pedro Almod?var, Ken Russell and David Lynch. Definitely not 'one of the boys', Suzanne Moore's attitude to the good and famous is refreshing and irreverent.

Looking for Trouble Reviews

This collection of Suzanne Moore's writings from the 1980s brilliantly captures the culture of a decade and punctures the pretensions of post-feminism, post-patriarchy and post-socialism. Perceptive, witty and adept at debunking the higher rubbish, she's my favourite columnist * Elizabeth Wilson *
In these days when female journalists are doing their damndest to be as bland, boring and grown-up as their male counterparts, Suzanne Moore stands out like a naughty deed in a good green world. Brilliant and bitchy, unsafe and unsound, this collection is packed with jokes and insights on everything from Prince to post-modernism, Madonna to men, Bond to bondage, and proves that Miss Moore is the second-best essayist in England. Which means the world * Julie Burchill *
