Movies about significant historical personalities or landmark
events like war seem to be governed by a set of unspoken rules for
the expression of gender. Films by female directors featuring
female protagonists appear to receive particularly harsh treatment
and are often criticised for being too 'emotional' and incapable of
expressing 'real' history. Through her examination of films from
the United States, Europe, Australia and elsewhere, Julia Erhart
makes powerful connections between the representational strategies
of women directors such as Kathryn Bigelow, Ruth Ozeki and
Alexandra von Grote and their concerns with exploring the past
through the prism of the present. She also compellingly explores
how historiographical concepts like valour, memory, and resistance
are uniquely re-envisioned within sub-genres including biopics,
historical documentaries, Holocaust movies, and movies about the
'War on Terror'. Gendering History on Screen will make an
invaluable contribution to scholarship on historical film and
women's cinema.
