This anthology makes a significant contribution to the current debate in that it offers sophisticated and multi-faceted discussions of a number of key issues in relation to cinema such as auteurism, national cinemas, metacinema, the parodic, history, and colonization UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781789203837?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781789203837 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781789203837/original ER -
