O knihe
Since the turn of the twenty-first century, efforts to improve human rights, social equality, and democracy in western Europe have faced growing challenges that range from economic and medical crises to the resurgence of the tribalist far right. Studying western European cinema reveals how filmmakers have been using their art to reflect on the region's contemporary problems and potentials.
In Conflict and Survival in Contemporary Western European Film, John Alexander Williams and Alexandra Hagen have collected a diverse array of essays that analyze how filmmakers have portrayed forms of strife and endurance in the new century. Divided into three thematic sections-historical conflicts and national identities; migrants, natives, and battles over space; and ethical struggles in everyday life-this book offers case studies of historical context, narrative, and form in a range of significant recent films.
Showcasing such movies as Days of Glory, A War, Code Unknown, The Edge of Heaven, Toni Erdmann, The Great Beauty, and Weekend, this fascinating collection presents contemporary filmmakers as critical citizen-artists who are directly involved in interrogating the past, present, and future of Europe.
