Offering sharp and smart close-readings of films in Australia through the long post-war period, a moment often understudied and underappreciated (if not downright dismissed), the authors revise, yet also productively revive, conceptions of national cinema through a composite framework nicely attuned to scales of global and local and their necessary interaction.
