This is a fresh and groundbreaking account of the innovations and provocations of the "cinema of 1968," and its social and aesthetic contexts. Benjamin Halligan offers a genuinely fresh analysis of films reflecting the cultural upheaval of youth in revolt.
As with many aspects of European cultural life, film was galvanized and transformed by the revolutionary fervor of 1968. This groundbreaking study provides a full account of the era’s cinematic crises, innovations, and provocations, as well as the social and aesthetic contexts in which they appeared. The author mounts a genuinely fresh analysis of a contested period in which everything from the avant-garde experiments of Godard, Pasolini, Schroeter, and Fassbinder to the “low” cinematic genres of horror, pornography, and the Western reflected the cultural upheaval of youth in revolt—a cinema for the barricades.
