Avant-garde to new wave. Czechoslovak cinema, surrealism and the sixties

Viac o knihe

"The cultural liberalization of communist Czechoslovakia in the 1960s produced many artistic accomplishments, not least the celebrated films of the Czech New Wave ... This book explores the avant-garde's influence over the New Wave and considers the political implications of that influence. The close analysis of selected films ... is contextualized by an account of the Czech avant-garde and a discussion of the films' immediate cultural and political background."--Back cover.
