{"product_id":"realism-in-greek-cinema-vrasidas-karalis-9781350242845","title":"Realism in Greek Cinema: From the Post-War Period to the Present","description":"The history of Greek cinema post-1945 is best understood through the stories of its most internationally celebrated and influential directors. Focusing on the works of six major filmmakers active from just after WWII to the present day, with added consideration of many others, this book examines the development of cinema as an art form in the social and political contexts of Greece. Insights on gender in film, minority cinemas, stylistic richness and the representation of historical trauma are afforded by close readings of the work and life of such luminaries as Michael Cacoyannis, Nikos Koundouros, Yannis Dalianidis, Theo Angelopoulos, Antouanetta Angelidi, Yorgos Lanthimos, Athena-Rachel Tsangari and Costas Zapas. Throughout, the book examines how directors visually transmute reality to represent unstable societies, disrupted collective memories and national identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vrasidas Karalis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350242845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350242845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Vrasidas Karalis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127176818943,"sku":"9781350242845","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_632da9ad-eb85-49b2-8201-07ae2d3a5619.jpg?v=1687452253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/realism-in-greek-cinema-vrasidas-karalis-9781350242845","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
