Description

The first book to examine the work of this radical, influential filmmaker. Duan Makavejev is a filmmaker, teacher, and intellectual whose films intersect with major historical and political upheavals in Eastern EuropeWorld War II, the unification and breakup of Yugoslavia, and the fall of communism. Subversive and moving, his films remain touchstones for transcultural and political cinema. Matching the intensity of the films, Lorraine Mortimer takes a radically interdisciplinary approach in this first book-length critical analysis of Makavejev's work.
