<jats:p>This article examines how domestic violence has been depicted in mainstream English-language cinema. I offer readings of <jats:italic>Sleeping with the Enemy, Tina: What's Love Got to Do With It, Once Were Warriors, Nil By Mouth</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Enough</jats:italic> that examine both common and specific representational strategies. My analysis is grounded in theoretical approaches and heuristic tools more commonly found in feminist criticism than in film studies.</jats:p> |
