Sommario/riassunto

This title identifies the distinctive character of European cinema, both in films and as a critical concept. Including in-depth analyses of production and reception contexts as well as original readings of key European films from leading experts in the field, it re-negotiates traditional categories such as auteurism, art cinema and national cinemas.
