Reviews

Sebastian Jagielski’s The Politics of Excess in Polish Cinema is a wonderful book – and an important one. On the one hand, it is a thorough and dense study of subversive and radical film in 1970s and 1980s Poland; on the other, it is a plea that, in times like these, there can be no excess of emancipatory forces in art. * Bernd Herzogenrath, Goethe Universität Frankfurt, Germany * The Politics of Excess in Polish Cinema boldly subverts the dominant discourse on the history of Polish film, unearthing the emancipatory impulses suppressed by national/ist narratives. Original and rigorous, the monograph is a breakthrough in studies of Polish and Eastern European cinema. * Elzbieta Ostrowska, University of Lódz, Poland *
