Reviews

""This is a lovely book about a great Norwegian filmmaker. It is written with a nuanced film analytical sensibility to both larger themes and filmic details. Its combination of sharp discussions with a profound admiration of the filmmaker's work and an at once precise and easily accessible language makes it a pleasure to read."" --Professor Anne Jerslev, University of Copenhagen Combining an issues-oriented approach with sustained reflection on the craft of filmmaking, this rigorously researched study makes a huge contribution. Gjelsvik admirably captures the multi-facetted value of Trier's oeuvre and shows us what relevant, worthwhile filmmaking looks like. Marta Eidsvåg deserves credit for her magnificent translation. --Mette Hjort, Professor of Film and Screen Studies, University of Lincoln
