This book tells the troubled story of a period in Hungarian cinematic history during which audiences, filmmakers, critics, and officials grappled with questions surrounding Hungarian national identity.
Author / Editor information
Gergely Gábor :
Gábor Gergely is a lecturer in film studies at the University of Lincoln. He has published articles on Hungarian cinema in the 1930s and 1940s, and a book, Foreign Devils (2012), on perceptions of difference in the films of émigré stars in classical Hollywood. More recently, he has published on the MGM Tarzan films of Johnny Weissmuller. He is currently working on the accent, both as a linguistic and as a critical term, in relation to the films and stardom of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Reviews
BAFTSS 2018 Best Monograph Runner-up. Comments by the panel: "The subtitle of the book strikes at the heart of Gergely’s concerns both as a critique of the cinema and as an appraisal of the gap in much of the extant academic literature. What is a real pleasure within the book, though, is the extent to which the author is keenly aware of the general ignorance around Hungarian culture for his mainly English-speaking readership, and as a history book more generally, the texts sits well alongside the style of cultural historians like Arthur Marwick. As such, this book speaks across disciplines and is truly enlightening."
