From Socio to Psycho-Biographies: Biographical Films About Popular Musicians
CHAPTER 5 From Socio to Psycho-Biographies: Biographical Films About Popular Musicians Biographical film or biopic is a fairly well-researched topic in the English literature, but the bulk of existing studies focus on Hollywood films (Custen ; France and St. Clair ; Tibbets ; Bingham ). Even those publications which try to move away from equating biopic with Hollywood, omit films from Eastern Europe (Brown and Vidal ). At the same time, this subject has attracted little attention from researchers of Eastern European and specifically Polish cinema, with only one edited collection published since the fall of the Berlin Wall (Szczepański and Kołos ). This neglect can be explained more by the low reputation of biopic among Eastern European film historians than by a lack of suitable material. For example, the Wikipedia category ‘Polish biographical films’ lists almost one hundred films, certainly enough to merit a monograph devoted to this topic. However, as I argued earlier, Polish film critics and historians were reluctant to engage with the history of genre films, especially those produced in their own country. Biopic has also traditionally had a low status in western film criticism. According to Stev

Film genre
A biographical film or biopic ()[1] is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person or group of people. Such films show the life of a historical person and the central character's real name is used.[2] They differ from docudrama films and historical drama films in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a single person's life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.[3]
Context
[edit]Biopic scholars include George F. Custen of the College of Staten Island and Dennis P. Bingham of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. Custen, in Bio/Pics: How Hollywood Constructed Public History (), regards the genre as having died with the Hollywood studio era, and in particular, Darryl F. Zanuck.[4] On the other hand, Bingham's study Whose Lives Are They Anyway? The Biopic as Contemporary Film Genre[5] shows how it perpetuates as a codified genre using many of the same tropes used in the studio era that has followed a similar trajectory as that shown by Rick Altman in his study, Film/Genre.[6] Bingham also addresses the male biopic and the female biopic as distinct genres from each other, the former generally dealing with great accom
