The first book to examine the work of this radical, influential filmmaker.
TERROR AND JOY: The Films of Dusan Makavejev
Lorraine Mortimer
University of Minnesota Press | 352 pages | 2009
ISBN 978-0-8166-4886-3 | hardcover | $75.00
ISBN 978-0-8166-4887-0 | paperback | $25.00
Dusan Makavejev is a filmmaker, teacher, and intellectual whose films
intersect with major historical and political upheavals in Eastern
Europe-World War II, the unification and breakup of Yugoslavia, and
the fall of communism. Subversive and moving, his films remain
touchstones for transcultural and political cinema. Matching the
intensity of the films, Lorraine Mortimer takes a radically
interdisciplinary approach in this first book-length critical
analysis of Makavejev's work.
"Lorraine Mortimer has a profound understanding of Makavejev's
filmmaking, and she illustrates and explains his methods and
objectives with clarity, passion, verve, and a sense of humor. Terror
and Joy is likely to spur many retrospective screenings of
Makaveyev's oeuvre, further research on his innovative film
structures, and increased attention to his pioneering work in courses
on East European cinema and on film theory." -Herbert Eagle,
University of Michigan
Lorraine Mortimer is a senior lecturer in sociology and anthropology
