- Abstract:
- Abstract: Bigger Than Life (1956) complicates the popular understanding of social demotion as the source of postwar bourgeois anxiety. The film daringly reframes suburban anxiety in class terms, severing the middle class from the ideal of upward social mobility and positing a suburbia where privilege has turned into entrapment.
