Polish Cinema: A History, Second, Updated Edition by Marek Haltof
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2 MB
Overview: Marek Haltof’s seminal volume was the first comprehensive English-language study of Polish cinema, providing a much-needed survey of one of Europe’s most distinguished—yet unjustly neglected—film cultures. Since then, seismic changes have reshaped Polish society, European politics, and the global film industry. This thoroughly revised and updated edition takes stock of these dramatic shifts to provide an essential account of Polish cinema from the nineteenth century to today, covering such renowned figures as Kieslowski, Skolimowski, and Wajda along with vastly expanded coverage of documentaries, animation, and television, all set against the backdrop of an ever-more transnational film culture.
“Marek Haltof is a genuine scholar, a historian who meticulously chronicles not only Polish film history, but all that has been written about it. The style of Polish Cinema: A History is both sophisticated and accessible. He is attentive to the details of motion pictures, able to discuss art films and genre movies with equal authority.” – Annette Insdorf, Columbia University and author of Intimations: The Cinema of Wojciech Has
“Haltof’s comprehensive, lucid, and refreshing critical history of Polish cinema significantly expands the existing literature on the topic in English… Essential for all serious libraries and very useful in the undergraduate or graduate classroom.” – Choice
