Barbara Mennel, "Women at Work in Twenty-First-Century European Cinema"
English | ISBN: 0252042220 | 2019 | 258 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
From hairdressers and caregivers to reproductive workers and power-suited executives, images of women's labor have powered a fascinating new movement within twenty-first-century European cinema. Social realist dramas capture precarious working conditions. Comedies exaggerate the habits of the global managerial class. Stories from countries battered by the global financial crisis emphasize the patriarchal family, debt, and unemployment.
