Made around the time of the revolutions of 1989 but set in post-World War II Europe, these films grapple with the reunification of Germany, the disintegration of the Balkans, and a growing sense of historical loss and disenchantment felt across the continent. They represent a period in which national borders became blurred and the events of the mid-twentieth-century began to be reinterpreted from a multinational European perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing in-depth case studies of films from Italy, Germany, eastern Europe, and Scandinavia, Rosalind Galt reassesses the role that nostalgia, melodrama, and spectacle play in staging history. She analyzes Giuseppe Tornatore's \u003ci\u003eCinema Paradiso\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Radford's \u003ci\u003eIl Postino\u003c\/i\u003e, Gabriele Salvatores's \u003ci\u003eMediterraneo\u003c\/i\u003e, Emir Kusturica's \u003ci\u003eUnderground\u003c\/i\u003e, and Lars von Trier's \u003ci\u003eZentropa\u003c\/i\u003e, and contrasts them with films of the immediate postwar era, including the neorealist films of Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De Sica, socialist realist cinema in Yugoslavia, Billy Wilder's \u003ci\u003eA Foreign Affair\u003c\/i\u003e, and Carol Reed's \u003ci\u003eThe Third Man\u003c\/i\u003e. Going beyond the conventional focus on national cinemas and heritage, Galt's transnational approach provides an account of how post-Berlin Wall European cinema inventively rethought the identities, ideologies, image, and popular memory of the continent. By connecting these films to political and philosophical debates on the future of Europe, as well as to contemporary critical and cultural theories, Galt redraws the map of European cinema.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosalind Galt is assistant professor of film studies at the University of Iowa.
