Covering more than forty films made since 2001 – including The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, The Paper will be Blue, Police, Adjective and Beyond the Hills – this pioneering collection of essays on New Romanian Cinema is the first to contextualise it aesthetically, theoretically and historically. Scholars from across Europe and North America are brought together, reflecting on the realism, minimalism and intermedial artifice of New Romanian cinemas, on its approaches to issues of national and gender identity, and on its unique convergence of ethics and aesthetics. With its thorough bibliographic and filmographic references, and a comprehensive historical overview, the anthology represents a systematic guide to New Romanian Cinema as a consolidated cinematic movement, and highlights its potential as a rich interdisciplinary field of study.
In the last decade and a half the New Romanian Cinema became the most exciting phenomenon originating from the old Eastern Europe. This collection, in which the leading specialists in the area cover topics such as minimalism, genre, gender, intermediality and intertextuality, as well as its roots in national and global context, is a valuable addition to the body of work about Romanian cinema. -- Ewa Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire
This stimulating collection approaches New Romanian Cinema from both theoretical and historical perspectives, referencing important antecedents in Romanian culture together with links to international developments in cinema and the visual arts. Christina Stojanova has assembled an impressive range of contributions offering original perspectives on one of the key developments in post-Socialist cinemas. -- Professor Peter Hames, Staffordshire University
