Cinema provides entertainment, but it also communicates a set of
values, a vision of the world or an ideology. From its beginnings
more than a century ago, European cinema has dealt with the tension
between these two functions in a variety of ways: at the extremes,
dictatorial regimes have sweetened the pill of ideology with the
sugar of entertainment. Meanwhile, spectators have persisted in
seeking out, above all, the pleasure film can provide. Now
available again in paperback, this book explores the complex
relationship between entertainment, ideology and audiences in
European film, through studies that range from the Stalinist
musicals of the 1930s, to cinematic representations of masculinity
under Franco, to recent French films and their Hollywood remakes.
Diverse and entertaining, this study is addressed to students of
film - especially French, German, Russian or Spanish - and to those
readers and academics interested in both the history of cinema and
in European culture. -- .
