KIRA MURATOVA. CINEMA OF SUBVERSION
a book by Isa Willinger, published by UVK
»The reviewer still fascinated by this excellent analysis is nominating the publication for an award.«
MEDIENwissenschaft (complete review in German)
»Absolutely worth reading for anyone interested in Eastern European cinema.«
hhprinzler.de
»Critics and cinephiles alike should find Willinger’s work to be of particular interest [...] It offers an original, thought-provoking and well substantiated study worth reading and regularly consulting for both specialists in film and culture studies and laymen alike. Sharing some similarities with the auteur it explores, the book is a collage offering entertainment, insights, surprises and plenty of food for thought.«
