The first major study of the cinematic traditions of Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia since 1945. This book explores the major schools of film-making and the main stages of development across the region during the period of state socialism up until the end of the Cold War as well as more recent transformations post-1989. Including material on directors such as Istv n Szab ( Mephisto), Krzysztof Kieslowski ( Dekalog, Three Colors Trilogy) and Jan Sver k ( Kolya), this study of the 'other' European cinema constitutes a timely appraisal of film history and film studies debates.
