Reviews

Cinematic Modernism and Contemporary Film sets a new standard for discussions of art cinema and modernist film. Finn convincingly argues that key elements of contemporary cinematic modernism are inspired by a commitment to realism, even as such realism is continually questioned and often undermined. The range of films and filmmakers discussed here is impressive and gives readers a comprehensive account of cinematic modernism from its beginnings to the present. -- Richard Rushton, Lancaster University, UK
