PERSPECTIVES ON EUROPEAN FILM AND HISTORY compiles essays on European historical movies such as Luc Besson's The Messenger (1999), Oliver Hirschbiegel's Downfall (2004) and Mike Leigh's Vera Drake (2004). This new volume thus enriches scholarship on historical films, which tends to focus on Hollywood productions.
The book features original contributions from internationally renowned scholars such as Robert Rosenstone, Amy Sargeant, Willem Hesling, Uli Jung, James Chapman and Brett Bowles. It was edited by Leen Engelen and Roel Vande Winkel. Perspectives on European Film and History is the fourth publication in the book series Film & TV Studies.
