Modes of Masculinity: The Western and Red River dives into the Western genre through the lens of literature, led by Lee Clark Mitchell. It’s a fascinating exploration, really—more cerebral than your typical genre documentary, but that's part of its charm. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for thoughtful reflections on masculinity, heroism, and myth-making in film. Mitchell’s insights are engaging, weaving together the cultural impact of 'Red River' with broader thematic elements within Westerns. The tone is contemplative, sometimes critical, which distinguishes it from more celebratory takes on the genre. It’s not just a history lesson; it invites viewers to think more deeply about the narratives and tropes that have shaped the Western as we know it.
