European Cinema: An Introduction Paperback - 2001

by Jill Forbes (Editor); Sarah Street (Editor)

From the publisher

This book is a highly original introduction to the study of European cinema. Following a wide-ranging first part which asks whether European cinema exists and, if so, what its aesthetic, political, and economic characteristics might be, the book offers a series of fascinating and informative case studies of films from the major European film-producing countries including Britain and Russia.

First line

In the space of a century, the cinema has grown from a curiosity exhibited in the fairgrounds of western Europe and America to be part of a multi-billion-dollar business.

From the rear cover

The survival of cinema in Europe and the analysis of its heritage are key issues for the new century. This book asks how we can define European cinema and how it should be studied. It provides an overview of the problems, traditions and key questions that have informed the study of European cinema, investigating the links and tensions between Europe and Hollywood and exploring the different experiences of national identities within a common European framework.

Twelve case studies of individual European films ranging from The Battleship Potemkin and The Lodger, to La Haine and Trainspotting, illustrate the distinctiveness and variety of cinema in Europe as well as the various critical methods by which it can be studied.

With its detailed analysis of films from several European countries including Britain and Russia, the book encourages a comparative approach and raises urgent questions about the future of European cinema in the context of globalization. It will be of interest to students in Film Studies, European Studies and Modern European Languages and Cultures.
