Reviews

"""Through a Nuclear Lens connects the fields of French film studies with energy humanities, a rapidly emerging field committed to understanding and exploring how our dependence on oil and nuclear energy shapes societies and affects subjectivities and human narratives. Holtzman posits cinema's capacity to function as a critical dialogic site, where different cultural anxieties and otherwise nationally understood subjectivities can encounter one another, and where the boundaries between canonical contributions and lesser-known works disappear."" — Audrey Evrard, Fordham University ""The title of this well-written and expertly organized book suggests only part of the critical and historical richness it has on offer. Holtzman masters a host of interconnected cultural issues to provide a deeply nuanced portrait of the nuclear age that usefully de-centers the Anglo-American experience."" — R. Barton Palmer, editor, Quarterly Review of Film and Video"
