East West and Centre: Re-framing Post-1989 European Cinema cannot be missed by anybody who searches for thought-provoking films and new ways to tackle them. Its authors engage with the legacies of various types of colonialism in Europe and imbalance in European cinema, and attempt to counteract these phenomena by offering close analyses of the most fascinating films made since the fall of state socialism, utilising concepts such as feminism, magic realism, hapticity and road cinema. -- Ewa Hanna Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire A valuable collection of essays exploring the East-West European cinematic relationship.
