Description
Indelible Shadows: Film and the Holocaust explores the complex relationship between cinema and the Holocaust. Annette Insdorf examines how filmmakers navigate the moral and commercial demands of depicting this sensitive subject. In this third edition, Insdorf delves into recent trends in Holocaust filmmaking, as well as rediscovered classics from the period. She analyzes key films such as Schindler's List and Life is Beautiful, and considers the impact of humor on these narratives. The book also covers the growing genre of documentaries that return to the scene of the crime or rescue. With an extensive annotated filmography, Indelible Shadows provides a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of Holocaust films from around the world.
