Rhodes, John David, 'Wrong Life: Bungalow Aesthetics in and against Hollywood', Spectacle of Property: The House in American Film (Minneapolis, MN , 2017; online edn, Minnesota Scholarship Online, 20 Sept. 2018), https://doi.org/10.5749/minnesota/9781517903695.003.0002, accessed 18 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
Investigates the bungalow, the modern house of modest proportions, whose spaces promise an openness and a blurring of private and public and whose threshold is the site of radical possibility. The key films discussed here are Mildred Pierce (Michael Curtiz, 1945) and Meshes of the Afternoon (Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid, 1943), but the chapter is also in conversation with Theodor Adorno’s fleeting but curious interest in the bungalow and with living spaces more broadly.
