Reviews

'...it is... an important contribution to the debate on memory, conflict, and nostalgia in the context of European war films. Making these rich and complex cinematic accomplishments accessible to a wider audience, Kosmidou’s work provides a valuable source of information for further exploration of the subject.' Agustín Rico-Albero, Council for European Studies
