This book examines the ways in which late twentieth-century European cinema deals with the neglected subject of civil war. Exploring a range of films about the Spanish, Irish, former Yugoslavia, and Greek civil wars, this comparative and interdisciplinary study engages with contemporary debates in cultural memory and investigates the ways in which cinematic postmemory is problematic. Many of the films present an idealized past that glosses over the reality of these civil wars, at times producing a nostalgic discourse of loss and longing. Other films engage with the past in a melancholic fashion. These cinematic discourses articulate contemporary concerns, especially the loss of ideology and a utopian political horizon in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989, a date that marks a significant break in European history and an accompanying paradigm shift in European cultural memory. Filmmakers examined include Trueba, Cuerda, Loach, Jordan, Kusturica, Dragojević, and Angelopoulos.

The authors propose a broad understanding of cultural heritage emerging from the public sphere, encompassing museums, oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, artifacts, media and cultural spaces as the inclusive, collective cultural expressions of everyday culture.This unique and interdisciplinary volume will interest scholars and students of cultural studies, cultural heritage, media and film studies, performance studies, history, and sociology.

This book examines the Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos’s feature films. Lanthimos’s films have been linked to the so called Greek weird wave in Greek cinema, which is commonly agreed to have started with his Dogtooth (2009), and so they have largely been discussed as national and localised cinematic phenomena allegorically commenting on the Greek economic crisis or society. Lanthimos’s distinctive style is discussed in this book in terms of both national and European cinematic traditions, in the latter case specifically Brecht and the aesthetics of the uncanny. The author provides an in-depth, thorough and systematic analysis of the ‘weird’ mixture of uncanniness and Brecht in Lanthimos’s cinema as performing an uncanny transformation of Brechtian aesthetics within the context of Greek and international cinema. As the author proposes, the Brechtian aesthetics, that we also find in the modernist cinema of Theo Angelopoulos, in combination with the aesthetics of the uncanny and the unnatural narratives, is what marks, and links, formally the feature films by Yorgos Lanthimos. The filmmaker’s radical film form and subversive thematics are linked to the uncanny here, and this Brechtian uncanny, as the author calls it, redefines Brechtian aesthetics. This unique book will interest scholars and students of film studies, media studies, modern Greek studies, cultural studies, theatre studies, psychology, literary studies, philosophy.
