Reviews
What Mazierska's invaluable book demonstrates...[is] the importance of expanding our investigations of work into unemployment, leisure and idleness, in order to help us understand the ongoing privileging of precarisation by capital, as well as to help us dismantle the unquestioned edification of today's 'labour idols.' - Studies in European Cinema One hopes that scholars like Mazierska will continue to keep pace with developments, not only to provide much-needed analysis and critique, but also to remind filmmakers and film scholars alike about film's potential. - Alphaville. Journal of Film & Screen Media Ewa Mazierska has written an important book...[it] is original and fascinating scholarship. The range of films is broad, with a special emphasis on British, former Yugoslav, Polish and French cinema, and the book cuts across art house and popular cinema - from cult films to Carry On- all in the name of bringing our attention to one of cinema's otherwise most notable absent figures: work and working. - William Brown, University of Roehampton
