One of the first in-depth studies of its kind, this book provides an imaginative reassessment of art cinema in the new millennium by showing how the exigencies of contemporary capitalism are exerting pressure on art cinema conventions. Through a careful examination of neoliberal thought and practice, the book explores the wide-ranging effects of neoliberalism on various sectors of society and on the evolution of film language. Alex Lykidis evaluates the relevance of art cinema style to explanations of the neoliberal order and uses a case study approach to analyze the films of acclaimed directors such as Asghar Farhadi, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Lucrecia Martel in relation to the social, political, and cultural characteristics of neoliberalism. By connecting the aesthetics of art cinema to current social antagonisms, Lykidis positions class as a central concern in our understanding of the polarized dynamics of late capitalism and the escalating provocations of todays film auteurs. 410 0$aGlobal cinema. 606 $aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects 606 $aNeoliberalism in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aNeoliberalism in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 676 $a791.43658 700 $aLykidis$b Alex$0847345 712 02$aEBSCO Publishing (Firm) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483517403321 996 $aArt cinema and neoliberalism$91892690 997 $aUNINA
