European Civil War Films - Eleftheria Rania (University of Salford Kosmidou - Bog

This book examines the way in which late twentieth-century European cinema deals with the neglected subject of civil war. Exploring a range of films about the Spanish, Irish, former Yugoslavia, and Greek civil wars, this comparative and interdisciplinary study engages with contemporary debates in cultural memory and investigates the ways in which cinematic postmemory is problematic. Filmmakers examined include Trueba, Cuerda, Loach, Jordan, Kusturica, Dragojevi¿, and Angelopoulos.
