Description
The Czechoslovak New Wave is a comprehensive study of the most significant movement in post-war Central and East European cinemas. First published in 1985, it remains the world's leading authoritative English-language text on this subject. This book examines the origins of the movement against the political and cultural developments of the 1960s, including the Prague Spring of 1968. In addition to its focus on cinema, The Czechoslovak New Wave also explores key aspects of Czech and Slovak histories between the wars and in the 1940s and 1950s. This detailed analysis sheds light on the complex cultural and historical context that gave rise to this influential film movement. With a range of directors discussed, including Milos Forman, Jan Svankmajer, Jiri Menzel, and Jan Nemec, The Czechoslovak New Wave provides a rich understanding of this pivotal moment in cinematic history.
