Sinopse

This book explores how audiences in contemporary Europe engage with films from other European countries. It draws on admissions data, surveys, and focus group discussions from across the continent to explain why viewers are attracted to particular European films, nationalities, and genres, including action-adventures, family films, animations, biopics, period dramas, thrillers, comedies, contemporary drama, and romance. It also examines how these films are financed, produced, and distributed, how they represent Europe and other Europeans, and how they affect audiences. Case-studies range from mainstream movies likenbsp;Skyfall,nbsp;Taken,nbsp;Asterix Obelix: God Save Britannia, andnbsp;Sammy's Adventures: A Turtle's Talenbsp;to more middlebrow and arthouse titles, such asnbsp;The Lives of Others,nbsp;Volver,nbsp;Coco Before Chanel,nbsp;The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,nbsp;Intouchables,nbsp;The Angels' Share,nbsp;Ida,nbsp;The Hunt, andnbsp;Blue Is the Warmest Colour. The study shows that watching European films can sometimes improve people's understandings of other countries and make them feel more European. However, this is limited by the strong preference for Anglo-American action-adventures that offer few insights into the realities of European life. While some popular European arthouse films explore a wider range of nationalities, social issues, and historical events, these mainly appeal to urban-dwelling graduates. They can also sometimes accentuate tensions between Europeans instead of bringing them together. The book discusses what these findings mean for the European film industry, audiovisual policy, and scholarship on transnational and European cinema. It also considers how surveys, focus groups, databases and other methods that go beyond traditional textual analysis can offer new insights into our understanding of film.
