About this product
Product Information
This book is the first study in English to examine some of the key themes and traditions of Czech and Slovak cinema, linking inter-war and post-war cinemas together with developments in the post-Communist period. It examines links between theme, genre, and visual style, and looks at the ways in which a range of styles and traditions has extended across different historical periods and political regimes. Czech and Slovak Cinema provides a unique study of areas of Central European film history that have not previously been examined in English.

Reviews
A fascinating history of Czechoslovak cinema reveals Czech and Slovak film themes and a discussion of various traditions but it also offers, surprisingly, history seen through the prism of cinema... Innovative and fresh., Czech and Slovak Cinema is an invaluable introduction for the novice as well as an extremely useful reference book for advanced research in the area. Hames offers not only a well-balanced overview of important themes, styles, and personalities in Czech and Slovak fi lm but does so in a spirit of good-humored critique that never mistakes hagiography for history or description for analysis., Peter Hames's monograph is an extremely important publication, providingguidance to the interested reader through the rich history of Czech andSlovak cinema. It will stimulate interest in the cinemas of East-Central Europe in the English-speaking world, undoubtedly becoming a catalyst for heated discussion, as this review has attempted to demonstrate., Draws on almost the entire corpus of Czech and Slovak cinema… Essential but formerly marginalised talents such as Jirà Trnka and Karel Zeman now rightly enjoy pride of place in the chapter on animation alongside the inevitable Jan Švankmajer… An invaluable book., A comprehensive and exciting look at Czech and Slovak Cinema. it can be interesting and provocative to veterans of the region's cinemas, but it can also benefit students who are new to this topic.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
