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 

at La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia. She is the translator of 

Edgar Morin's The Cinema, or The Imaginary Man (University of 

Minnesota Press, 2005).
