"""Andrew Nette, Samm Deighan, and their boisterous band of noteworthy collaborators serve up an impressive, breathlessly globe-trotting tour of Cold War leftwing cinemas of resistance in this beautifully appointed volume. Movie lovers will find a new trove of treasures to screen; film aficionados will dive into the debates stimulated by these provocative contributions."" --Jonathan Kirshner, author of Hollywood's Last Golden Age ""Navigating the rivers of blood between exploitation films, revolutionary cinema, and beyond, this is a vital, lively, necessary book for anyone interested in cinema, or politics, or both. Nette and Deighan seem to have seen everything: they make connections that change and deepen our understanding of the moving image, the moving world."" --Howard A. Rodman, former president, Writers Guild of America West ""Revolution in 35mm is a fantastic collection of essays, as vital and compelling as the films they analyze. The authors engage in the cinema of the time mindful of the context but also underline the relevance of the work today. Highly recommended."" --John Bleasdale, host of Writers on Film podcast ""The writing in Revolution in 35MM not only conveys a wholehearted enthusiasm for a diverse cross-section of cinema from around the world, but thoughtfully considers the socio-political conditions these films were aiming to challenge. An invaluable blend of cultural history and film critique, the book is a celebration of iconoclasts who channeled righteous anger into all manner of 'political cinema, ' whether by attacking issues directly or covertly smuggling topical themes into popular genre fare. Even the most seasoned cinephile will come away with dozens of unfamiliar titles to seek out."" --Bill Ackerman, host of Supporting Characters"
