A 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'
(1997) to high concept 'video generation' productions such as 'Iron
Sky' (2012). Yet, genre, at least in this context, indicates both a
complex strategy for domestic and international competition as well
as an analytical means to identify the Nordic film cultures'
relationships to international trends. Conceptualizing Nordic genre
film as an industrial and cultural phenomenon, other contributions
focus on road movies, the horror film, autobiographical films, the
quirky comedy, musicals, historical epics and pornography. These
are contextualized by discussion of their place 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, as well as the often diverse
production modes of each country, as well as the connections that
have historically existed, the book works at the intersections of
film and cultural studies and combines industrial perspectives and
in depth discussion of specific films, while also offering
historical perspectives on each genre as it comes to production,
distribution and reception of popular contemporary genre film.
