The Cinema of Manoel de Oliveira: Modernity, Intermediality and the Uncanny (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781501378652)

Manoel de Oliveira is the only filmmaker whose career spans from the silent era to the digital age, and yet there is little written in English about his extensive filmography. This volume, the first to discuss Oliveira's later works in English, fills this incredible gap in scholarship on the director with fresh and original analysis of over 50 of Oliveira's films, ranging from 1963's Rite of Spring to 2009's Eccentricities of a Blonde-haired Girl.

Organized by tropes and topics, rather than chronological order of release, The Cinema of Manoel de Oliveira creates a unique lens through which to consider the director and the ways in which his work links cinema, literature, and other artforms. Hajnal Kir疝y sheds new light on Oliveira's filmography with new readings of his work in relation to 20th and 21st century history.
