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.

Hames offers not only a well-balanced overview of important themes, styles, and personalities in Czech and Slovak fi lm but does so in a spirit of good-humored critique that never mistakes hagiography for history or description for analysis.
