Beyond Eastern Noir. : Reimagining Russia and Eastern Europe in Nordic Cinemas
(2018)- Abstract
- Addressing representations of Russia and neighbouring Eastern Europe in post-1989 Nordic cinemas, this ground-breaking volume investigates their hitherto-overlooked transnational dimension. Departing from the dark stereotypes that characterise much of ‘Eastern noir’, the author presents Russia and Eastern Europe as imagined spaces depicted with a surprisingly rich, but previously neglected, cinematic diversity.
Cross-disciplinary in its approach, and utilising in-depth case studies of feature films, documentaries and television dramas – such as Lilya 4-ever, A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence and Occupied – the book presents a variety of perspectives on Russia and Eastern Europe found in the Nordic audiovisual imagination...
