In Mythopoetic Cinema, Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli explores how
contemporary European filmmakers treat mythopoetics as a critical
practice that questions the constant need to provide new
identities, a new Europe, and with it a new European cinema after
the fall of the Soviet Union. Mythopoetic cinema questions the
perpetual branding of movements, ideas, and individuals. Examining
the work of Jean-Luc Godard, Alexander Sokurov, Marina Abramovic,
and Theodoros Angelopoulos, Ravetto-Biagioli argues that these
disparate artists provide a critical reflection on what constitutes
Europe in the age of neoliberalism. Their films reflect not only
the violence of recent years but also help question dominant models
of nation building that result in the general failure to respond
ethically to rising ethnocentrism. In close readings of such films
as Sokurov's Russian Ark (2002) and Godard's Notre Musique (2004),
Ravetto-Biagioli demonstrates the ways in which these filmmakers
engage and evaluate the recent reconceptualization of Europe's
borders, mythic figures, and identity paradoxes. Her work not only
analyzes how these filmmakers thematically treat the idea of Europe
but also how their work questions the ability of the moving image
to challenge conventional ways of understanding history.
