Making a compelling argument for the continuing relevance of
Brechtian film theory and cinema, this book offers new research and
analysis of Brecht the film and media theorist, placing his
scattered writings on the subject within the lively film theory
debates that took place in Europe between the 1920s-1960s.
Furthermore, Angelos Koutsourakis identifies key points of
convergence between Brecht's 'unfinished project' and contemporary
film and media theory. With case studies of films ranging from
Robert Roberto Rossellini's Paisa to Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 and
Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing amongst others, this study
challenges many existing preconceptions about Brecht's theoretical
position and invites readers to discover new ways of apprehending
and making use of Brecht in film studies.
