Reviews

The excellent introduction not only frames the anthology's discussion of global art cinema but also offers a long-overdue account of the aesthetie, industrial, and political contours and consequences.... Global Art Cinema successfully recuperates 'art cinema' and introduces 'global art cinema' as a new term for discussion and debate. of art cinema. --Lisa Patti, Film Criticism A much-needed and effective collection of essays in which various scholars both delimit and interrogate the concept of art cinema in a global context. --Kevin Cryderman, Film Quarterly Global Art Cinema makes a substantial contribution to contemporary film scholarship in general and to scholarship about the world's art cinemas in particular. --Daniel Herbert, Postmodern Culture This is a rich and stimulating book. It uses the term 'art cinema' in multiple senses to explore the current global reality of cinema. For too long art cinema has been used as a lazy shorthand for social snobbery or aesthetic complacency. Global Art Cinema makes such laziness impossible. --Colin MacCabe, University of Pittsburgh and University of London The world reflected in Global Art Cinema is not only that of art cinema: this volume opens up the many worlds within art cinema-sexual, political, aesthetic, industrial, and archival. It also provides an atlas of its many and varied global manifestations. --Akira Mizuta Lippit, USC School of Cinematic Arts The choice of subjects is eye catching...There's no doubt this book opens up an area short on theory and argues persuasively for art cinema's validity as a critical category that brings most other film studies categories into question. --Sight and Sound Global Art Cinema is particularly valuable for suggesting how transnational cultural exchange has always been operative, especially in the realm of art cinema, yet the transnational dimensions do not negate the importance of national policy and film cultures. Similarly art cinema has never been merely a European and Japanese phenomenon, though each have played a crucial role in its development. --Category D Splendid collection ... Although 'art cinema' as a term seems almost too open, and although this collection is truly global in scope, the essays taken together give the impression of a fascinating, focused discussion. Highly recommended. --S.C. Dillon, CHOICE


After a deftly argued introduction that's alive to all the complexities and potential problems of definition, the following chapters cover all the bases you'd expect... But there's no doubt this book opens up an area short on theory and argues persuasively for art cinema's validity as a critical category that brings most other film studies categories into question. Kieron Corless, Sight & Sound
