While popular European cinema is strongly linked with the dominant
American version of popular film, it cannot be read simply as
Hollywood in foreign dress. The styles, stars and genres of popular
European cinema - Swedish melodramas, Italian horror movies, French
musicals - all have their own conventions, superfically similar to
Hollywood and yet certainly distinct from it. The popular cinema of
Europe has been surprisingly little studied as both art and social
document. "Popular European Cinema" seeks to fill this gap and to
illuminate two compelling contemporary issues: the nature of the
"popular" and the "new Europe". The book examines the reasons why
films that are most popular with audiences in any one European
country are seldom successful elsewhere. Audiences themselves
represent diverse class, gender and ethnic identities that
complicate the question of national cinema, not least with recent
developments in formerly communist Eastern Europe and
post-colonialist Western Europe. This book should be of interest to
undergraduates in film and cultural studies courses.
