Offers a transnational comparative approach to contemporary popular
Nordic genre film. Nordic Genre Film offers a transnational
approach to studying contemporary genre production in Nordic
cinema. It discusses a range of internationally renowned examples,
from Nordic noir such as the television show The Bridge and films
like Insomnia to high concept 'video generation' productions such
as Iron Sky. Other contributions focus on road movies, the horror
film, autobiographical films, historical epics and pornography.
These are contextualised by discussions of their position in their
respective national film and media histories as well as their
influence on other Nordic countries and beyond. By highlighting
similarities and differences between the countries, the book
combines industrial perspectives and in depth discussion of
specific films, while also offering historical perspectives on each
genre as comes to production, distribution and reception of popular
contemporary genre film. It takes a range of approaches to genre in
the Nordic context, from analysing the textual features of
individual films to exploring industrial tactics in capitalising on
cultural reputations; It analyses the production, distribution and
the reception of contemporary genre films and offers academic film
studies an alternative model for understanding globalisation from a
small nation perspective.
