It examines her rich, original oeuvre, which ranges from Holocaust dramas such as \u003ci\u003eEuropa, Europa \u003c\/i\u003e(1990) to episodes of the HBO series \u003ci\u003eThe Wire.\u003c\/i\u003e In examining the multifaceted nature of Holland's authorship, the study situates her work in the context of art, popular, national, European, Hollywood, transnational, women's, and queer cinema, as well as global television projects. Her colourful public persona oscillates among \u003ci\u003eauteur\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrity director, and political activist in an extraordinary professional trajectory, which started in the Eastern Bloc, continued in Western Europe and North America, then backtracked to a unified Europe. That zigzagged route conveys the unique nature of Holland's career while epitomising the transformations of post-Cold War cultural production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elzbieta Ostrowska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399514679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399514675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Elzbieta Ostrowska","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46024936849663,"sku":"9781399514675","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85e87a18-d7c3-4c00-8cf3-46694519a660.jpg?v=1723129576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refocus-elzbieta-ostrowska-9781399514675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
