Eleftheriotis (film and television studies, U. of Glasgow) questions the applicability of the Anglo-US theoretical/critical framework for the study of popular European cinemas, and argues here in favor of a conceptual revision of the dominant model. To this end, he examines a number European films from the post-World War II within their historical and cultural contexts. Films, stars, genres and directors discussed include Until the End of the World , Mediterraneo , Bhaji on the Beach , Underground , the Gendarme series, Cinema Paradiso , La Cage aux folles , spaghetti westerns, the Nouvelle Vague , Louis de FunFs, Lina Wertmnller, Bigas Luna, and Melina Mercouri. Intended for researchers and students in the field of film studies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
