Cinema of Crisis
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-4851-2 (ISBN)
Now more than ever, the idea of Europe as grounded in a shared cultural heritage cannot be taken for granted. For all its diversity, complexity and internal tensions, Europe remains a powerful economic and political superstate. But it is one in crisis, where the postwar social democratic consensus has collapsed, the failings of neoliberalism have led to widespread austerity, and extremism, xenophobia and racism are on the rise.
This collection of original essays considers filmmakers’ engagements with pressing issues of the moment. Taking a long view of the crisis and considering geopolitical changes that took place towards the end of the 20th century, this book examines European cinema’s response to the economic, political and social crises that afflict Europe in the present.
