Polish National Cinema

by Marek Haltof

In the years since World War II, Poland has developed one of Europe's most distinguished film cultures. However, in spite of the importance of Polish cinema this is a domain in need of systematic study. This book is the first comprehensive study of Polish cinema from the end of the 19th century to the present. It provides not only an introduction to Polish cinema within a socio-political and economic context, but also to the complexities of East-Central European cinema and politics.

[Mieczyslaw Kasprzyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a superb reference-cum-social history book that I use to drop into to read up about films I've watched or ones I'm considering getting. I must peruse it at least once a month, so this is a book that is constantly handled - and respected.
