From the Back Cover
Most filmmakers, especially in the United States, have chosen not to upset their audiences. But since World War II, an alternative cinema has emerged on a significant scale, particularly in Europe and Latin America- a cinema that challenges rather than soothes, that questions assumptions rather than reinforces them. This kind of film-'made in a spirit of resistance, rebellion and refusal'-is the focus of this important and stimulating study.

Robert Kolker has taught film studies for over thirty years. He is the author of several books on film. "A Cinema of Loneliness: Penn, Stone, Kubrick, Scorsese, Spielberg, Altman", published by Oxford University Press, is in its third edition. His book on European film, "The Altering Eye", is now on the World Wide Web at http: //otal.umd.edu/~rkolker/AlteringEye. He has recently published a "casebook" of criticism on Hitchcock's "Psycho", and a companion collection of new essays on Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". He is editor of Oxford University Press's "Handbook of Film and Media Studies" and is currently writing a book on the films of Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick.
