Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Europe's East and West are still reaching out to each other. Europe has enlarged and transformed, but - in the sway of the global crisis - it has also shrunk into insignificance. Yet, European cinema is going strong in making meaning, as this book persuasively shows in tackling matters of heritage and cinephilia, identity and pan-European minorities. Transnational stardom and co-productions are explored against the backdrop of multiple national film traditions. It all comes together, elegantly and proficiently, under the coveted umbrella of Europeanness. Dina Iordanova, Institute for Global Cinema and Creative Cultures, University of St Andrews This wonderful collection navigates with rigour, enthusiasm and aplomb the complexities of thinking about something called European cinema, always respecting differences, never forcing a unity on the phenomenon, but also stubbornly and triumphantly affirming that there is indeed such a thing. Professor Richard Dyer, Kings College London
