She is the author of Lewd Looks: American Sexploitation Cinema in the 1960s (2017); co-author with John David Rhodes of The Prop, (2025); and co-editor of Taking Place: Location & the Moving Image (Minnesota, 2011), and Global Cinema Networks (2018).
An instant classic of critical analysis Gorfinkel’s Wanda matches its informed and passionate writing to the film’s own rigorous precision and beauty. Gorfinkel poignantly renders the complexity of the character’s classed and gendered dispossession while her impeccable research into Wanda’s production and reception restores Barbara Loden to her rightful place as a great and generative indie maker and actor. -- Ivone Margulies * Professor of Film Studies, Hunter College, USA * With tremendous verve, Elena Gorfinkel expands our understanding of a great film that has been much romanticized but too little historicized. In her detailed monograph, Gorfinkel sinuously explores both Wanda Goronski, among cinema’s most unassimilable protagonists, and the singular woman who created and inhabited her, Barbara Loden. -- Melissa Anderson * Film Editor and Critic, 4Columns, USA *
