Opis

The Birth of a Nation is widely considered to be the most controversial film of all time. Published on the 100th anniversary of its release, this richly detailed study recounts the film's development and historical context and traces tensions between art and racism that have made this the only film to have an unbroken decade of reception history.

Recenzje

Pomerance's eloquent (and, yes, impassioned) study offers a welcome complement to the expanding body of work on Marnie, thoughtfully building on what went before and offering fresh insights and new lines of enquiry. University of Sunderland Susan Smith
