WHAT CAN EUROPEAN FILMS TELL US ABOUT THE CULTURES OF THE COUNTRIES THAT PRODUCE THEM? IN WHAT WAYS HAVE EUROPEAN FILMS INITIATED SOCIAL CHANGE;
During World War II and its aftermath, from economic to industrial decline, Europeans faced similar changes both in politics and in views on life. However, even just before the creation of a unified European Community, the backgrounds of their cultures are anything but unified.
In his book `European Cinema, European Societies 1939-1990`, Pierre Sorlin examines how European nations expressed their political identity through the films they produced. Why do French films, for example, have such a distinctive character, so different not only from Hollywood productions but also from British, German, or Italian ones?
Sorlin shows how the influence of a common evolution towards a European federation can be perceived through films.
