Book Review

Abstract

If curious readers are expecting a catalogue or a guide to movies made in Yugoslavia, a country that disappeared from the political map of Europe in the 1990s, they won’t necessarily find it here. Instead, they will find something more: a reflective journey through some of the most important parts of Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav cinematic, cultural and political history. Written in engaging prose, the book represents both a homage to the cultural history of a lost country and a critical overview of the political, aesthetic and moral principles embedded in post-Yugoslav film.
