Description
Nordic National Cinemas explores the film histories and cultures of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. From the early 20th century to the twentieth century, the authors examine each country's domestic film production, social and political context, and domestic audiences. The book covers both internationally renowned directors, such as Mauritz Stiller, Victor Sjostrom, Carl Dreyer, and Ingmar Bergman, who made influential films like Vampyr, Ordet, Wild Strawberries, and Cries and Whispers. It also delves into the work of nationally important filmmakers, including August Blom, Bodil Ipsen, Lau Lauritzen, and Nils Malmros, as well as contemporary directors such as Gabriel Axel, the Kaurismaki brothers, and Lars von Trier. By examining these diverse film makers and their contributions to Nordic cinema, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the region's rich film history.
