Meer over het boek

The book explores the transformative impact of the revolutionary fervor of 1968 on European cinema, highlighting the crises, innovations, and provocations of the era. It offers a fresh analysis of how filmmakers like Godard, Pasolini, and Fassbinder, along with genres such as horror and pornography, mirrored the cultural upheaval of youth in revolt. Set against a backdrop of social and aesthetic change, the study delves into the avant-garde and mainstream cinematic responses to a period characterized by significant cultural conflict and activism.
