“Mediations of Disruption in Post-Conflict Cinema delivers on its promise to present analyses of the representation in cinema of diverse types of conflict from a wide range of academic perspectives, whilst always considering the expressive specificity of a medium which, due to its complexity and effectiveness, may be used to promote criticism, clarification and revision of concepts (among them, those of conflict and post-conflict), but also to shape sometimes necessary and mystifying narratives.” (João Pedro Vicente Faustino, Portuguese Studies, Vol. 34 (02), 2018)
