Cinema and Social Change in Germany and Austria

Beschreibung

This book explores contemporary German and Austrian cinema  and the trend away from "cinema of consensus" toward a more heterogeneous and critical cinema culture.  Functioning both as a product and as an agent of globalizing processes, this new cinema mediates and influences important political and social debates.
