Key visual materials



You've got mail(1998)

Director: Nora Ephron

Genre: Romantic comedy


Like Sleepless in Seattle(1993), this film is about two people falling in love who don't really know each other. This time, however, Ephron manipulates the romance by putting it on a techno setting. The film takes some of the late 20th century's most prominent trends - the anonymity created by email and chat rooms, the rise of coffee bars and chain shops, the slow disapperance of the corner shops- and Ephron puts them into a romantic comedy. The film id full of modern squeals, clicking keyboards, coffee bars and plenty of jokes about cybersex.
