5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful survey of an entire era, August 26, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Revolution!: The Explosion of World Cinema in the Sixties (Paperback)
This is a wonderful, well-written and informative text on the cinema in the '60's. It's main focus is the European film industry, and through first-hand accounts, interviews and retrospective narratives, Cowie deftly examines the decade of revolution and how the cinema changed and the personalities who contributed to the art form's liberation. There are a number of names and films explored that are by now standard and should be studied (Fellini, Bergman, Wajda, "Persona," "L'Avventura") and a host of others who are more obscure but are deservedly mentioned (Schlondorff, Makavejev, Glauber Rocha, "Black God, White Devil"). Indispensable for anyone interested in the era, or European cinema in general.
