BOOK SYNOPSIS
This book brings post-Berlin Wall Europe and European cinema to full visibility and into the fray of current debates on cultural identity, transnational cinema, and postcolonialism. It presents new ways of reading post-1989 European film policy in relation to culture, ways that are crucial to rethinking Europe in its geopolitical and symbolic configuration. In particular, it addresses how the neglected strategies of coproduction articulate a supranational Europe and redefine European identity. By drawing on contemporary political, cultural, and philosophical discourses, Rivi offers pointed analyses of some of the recent most significant European films like Nostalghia, Underground, Land and Freedom, No Man’s Land, Lamerica, La promesse, Code inconnu and Caché.
AUTHOR BIO
Luisa Rivi is Lecturer of Contemporary European Cinema at the School of Cinema-Television, University of Southern California.
BOOK REVIEWS
"This is a timely and ambitious book that places contemporary film culture in Europe within a post-Cold War, globalized context. Indicating the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 as the pivotal event that marked the beginning of a new era in which we are now immersed, Rivis study shows how Europes efforts to redefine itself are being played out in the cinematic imaginary. The body of films she has judiciously selected prove to be a rich source of different, even contrasting, perceptions of the European continent at this crucial historical juncture."--Aine O'Healy, Loyola Marymount University
