Contents:

'All all all' -- Prehistory -- from late Neo-realism to the New Waves -- Crises of Post-Bazinian Realism -- Film and Revolutionism -- Conclusion: Seized, Freed, Remade and Deployed.

Summary: As with many aspects of European cultural life, film was galvanized and transformed by the revolutionary fervor of 1968. This groundbreaking study provides a full account of the era's cinematic crises, innovations, and provocations, as well as the social and aesthetic contexts in which they appeared. The author mounts a genuinely fresh analysis of a contested period in which everything from the avant-garde experiments of Godard, Pasolini, Schroeter, and Fassbinder to the 'low' cinematic genres of horror, pornography, and the Western reflected the cultural upheaval of youth in revolt'a cinema for the barricades.
