Gender, especially masculinity, is a perspective rarely applied in discourses on cinema of Eastern/Central Europe. Masculinities in Polish, Czech and Slovak Cinema exposes an English-speaking audience to a large proportion of this region's cinema that previously remained unknown, focusing on the relationship between representation of masculinity and nationality in the films of two and later three countries: Poland, Czechoslovakia/the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The objective of the book is to discuss the main types of men populating Polish, Czech and Slovak films: that of soldier, father, heterosexual and homosexual lover, against a rich political, social and cultural background. Czech, Slovak and Polish cinema appear to provide excellent material for comparison as they were produced in neighbouring countries which for over forty years endured a similar political system - state socialism.

Jan Culik's book analyses the value system constructed by Czech feature films produced since the fall of communism in 1989. It provides an overview of some three hundred Czech feature films made during this period. Over fourteen chapters, the book shows how Czech film makers have dealt with the legacy of communism and other traumatic past experiences, and how they have borne witness to recent political and social developments in the Czech Republic. In Culik's view, Czech feature film constructs an image of society which is still heavily influenced by the so-called "normalisation" regime of the 1970s and 1980s, which was created in Czechoslovakia after the 1968 Soviet invasion. Czech feature films bear witness to a society which suffers from fairly weak social and political structures. Many Czech films highlight the subordinate position of women in Czech society and project an image of impractical, inefficient, and aggressive men. In discussing the films, Culik uses the methodology of Cultural Studies, in which art is seen primarily as a specific kind of social communication within a certain cultural and historical context.

This book is the first study in English to examine some of the key themes and traditions of Czech and Slovak cinema, linking inter-war and post-war cinemas together with developments in the post-Communist period. It examines links between theme, genre, and visual style, and looks at the ways in which a range of styles and traditions has extended across different historical periods and political regimes. Czech and Slovak Cinema provides a unique study of areas of Central European film history that have not previously been examined in English.

The Prague Spring of 1968 was a revolution fought in the name of personal freedom, against oppressive political forces. As the social, cultural and economic politics of the Cold War stretched through the Eastern Bloc the citizens of its satellite states became more feverish in their defiance of an oppressive Soviet system. As revolution began in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union responded promptly and violently. To analyze the relationship between the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia in 1968 is to explore the unjust truth of politics, a collection of oppressive systems in which those who are powerful crush those who are not. One system gains control, as one is oppressed in every way possible. In uncovering the nature of Prague Spring politics I closely analyze revolutionary movements within Czechoslovakia that directly confronted oppressive politics: the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Women's Union, which promoted feminist ideology and expressed hope for the dissolution of the culture of oppressive political thinking built by the Soviet Union, and the Czech New Wave, a group of revolutionary film makers that attempted to inspire action and reform within Czechoslovakian society. The Czech New Wave was Czechoslovakia's most defiant arena of creative revolt. The satirical films of the Czech New Wave outline a specific aesthetic of response to cultural turmoil. The artists of the New Wave endured oppression and censorship during the upheaval of the Prague Spring, foundationally altering the visual and contextual aesthetics of the genre. In this investigation, I meticulously and compassionately analyze Věra Chytilová's Daisies (1966) and Jiří Menzel, Věra Chytilová, Jaromil Jireš, Jan Němec and Evald Schorm's collaborative epic Pearls of the Deep (1966) as a means of exploring these concepts. Czechoslovakian revolutionary film embodies one central question -- what does it mean to be politically and creatively free? In this investigation of the ways in which systematic and unjust politics aid creative response, I reveal the deep assimilation in every literal and theoretical corner of radical politics into the consciousness of, the production of, human culture and creativity.

In Czechoslovakia, in the 1960s, artists began to realize that the aesthetics of social realism contrasted with the realities of daily life; a movement of film arose in response to the politics and history of the nation. This work collects candid interviews with the creators of the Czech New Wave film movement (1960-2000). Their work put Czech film on the map of world cinema, generating two Oscars for Best Foreign Film, but the official critique marked them as decadent, pessimistic, and reactionary. The work contains sixteen uncensored interviews with filmmakers such as Jan Nemec, Jiri Menzel, Saša Gedeon, and Jan Sverak, who describe the struggle to realize their visions in a constantly shifting political landscape: from the mid-1960s, through the repressive "normalization" after the Soviet occupation in 1968 (more films were banned in 1970 than during the previous twenty years of Communism), and after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. The interviews give portraits of some of the most talented figures in film, revealing artists searching for individual and national identity, who describe living and making film in the Czech Republic now and in the past, explore how foreign films influence Czech film, and speculate on the future of film. Each interview includes a short biography, filmography, and list of awards. The work is bookended by essays giving background on the political and economic situations leading up to and after the Velvet Revolution.
