Description

Film and the Anarchist Imagination offers an authoritative account of films featuring anarchist characters and motifs. Richard Porton explores how filmmakers have portrayed anarchism's traditions of labor agitation and revolutionary struggle, acknowledging both the stereotypes and the more nuanced portrayals.

Porton examines a range of films, from silent era classics to contemporary releases, including works by Jean Vigo, Jean-Luc Godard, Lina Wertmüller, Yvonne Rainer, Ken Loach, and others. The second edition reflects on new topics, including the negative portrayals of anarchism over the past twenty years and the contemporary embrace of post-anarchist ideas.

This updated edition provides a comprehensive analysis of anarchist cinema, making it a valuable resource for scholars and film enthusiasts alike.
