Opis

This book presents a re-examination of the cinemas of a range of countries in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in communist times. It argues that, since the end of communism in these countries, scholars of film are able to view the cinemas of those countries in communist times in a different way, no longer bound by a Cold War outlook, an outlook which tended to view such cinemas only in Cold War terms.
