Reviews

This book opens up one of the most vaguely and often ill employed terms within film theory for extremely detailed discussion, providing the most thorough analysis of Brechtianism available to film scholars. It will become a standard reference. - R. Barton Palmer, coeditor of Invented Lives, Imagined Communities: The Biopic and American National Identity
