Talk:Coming-of-age film

This article was nominated for deletion on 3 May 2011. The result of the discussion was keep.

Expansion

Since this is a major category of films on WP, the article should be expanded. I have no doubt there are dozens of books on films that cover this subject.(mercurywoodrose)66.80.6.163 (talk) 19:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Here are some sources that discuss the subject. I have no special interest in this subject, though, so someone else will need to review the following and, as I hope, incorporate them into the article:

Now, voyager by Casey Robinson, Jeanne Thomas Allen

Australian Cinema after Mabo by Felicity Collins, Therese Davis

Coming of Age on Film: Stories of Transformations in World Cinema, Anne Hardcastle, Roberto Morosini, Kendall Tarte (eds.)

That third book has no free Google preview available, but an online preview is available here on Amazon, although you might (?) have to log in to Amazon to see inside the book. Cheers, – OhioStandard (talk) 05:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
