Realism in Greek Cinema : From the Post-War Period to the Present Hardback
by Vrasidas Karalis
Part of the World Cinema series
Hardback
Description
The history of Greek cinema post-1945 is best understood through the stories of its most internationally celebrated and influential directors.
Focusing on the works of six major filmmakers active from just after WWII to the present day, with added consideration of many others, this book examines the development of cinema as an art form in the social and political contexts of Greece.
Insights on gender in film, minority cinemas, stylistic richness and the representation of historical trauma are afforded by close readings of the work and life of such luminaries as Michael Cacoyannis, Nikos Koundouros, Yannis Dalianidis, Theo Angelopoulos, Antouanetta Angelidi, Yorgos Lanthimos, Athena-Rachel Tsangari and Costas Zapas.
Throughout, the book examines how directors visually transmute reality to represent unstable societies, disrupted collective memories and national identity.
