Description
Jaws divides critics into those who dismiss it as infantile and sensational, and those who see the shark as freighted with political and psychosexual meaning. The author argues that both interpretations obscure the film's success as a work of art.

Antonia Quirke creates a fascinating way to look at Jaws ... There's an excitement to the way Quirke relates the film's scenes and sequences. Her book is an emotional reaction to the movie and is all the better for it!
