Reviews

Vlastimir Sudar's book is the most ambitious and comprehensive attempt thus far to bring into bold relief Aleksandar Petrovic's role as a world-class film artist, political dissident, and a major figure in bringing about the Yugoslav new film or black film period of the 1960s and early '70s. Using an innovative and updated version of auteur theory as a major strategy of film analysis, Sudar discovers and persuasively articulates four basic thematic political paradigms that cut across all of Petrovic's major films. His analysis is further deepened by a remarkable variety and scope of relevant source materials--historical, biographical, cultural, and political--that he critically brings to bear to substantiate and provide a context for his film analysis. <br>--Daniel J. Goulding, Oberlin College
