The Romanian Cinema of Nationalism
McFarland & Co Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4766-6819-2 (ISBN)
Prior to the collapse of communism, Romanian historical movies were political, encouraging nationalistic feelings and devotion to the state. Vlad the Impaler and other such iconic figures emerged as heroes rather than loathsome bloodsuckers, celebrating a shared sense of belonging. The past decade has, however, presented Romanian films in which ordinary people are the stars--heroes, go-getters, swindlers and sore losers. The author explores a wide selection, old and new, of films set in the Romanian past.
Onoriu Colăcel, an associate professor at Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, has authored three books and has published on Romanian and Moldovan literary culture and visual media. He lives in Suceava, Romania.
