Cinema and Neoliberalism surveys cinematic responses to neoliberalism across four
continents. One of the first in-depth studies of its kind, this book provides an imaginative
reassessment of art cinema in the new millennium by showing how the exigencies of
contemporary capitalism are exerting pressure on art cinema conventions. Through a
careful examination of neoliberal thought and practice, the book explores the wide-ranging
effects of neoliberalism on various sectors of society and on the evolution of film
language. Alex Lykidis evaluates the relevance of art cinema style to explanations
of the neoliberal order and uses a case study approach to analyze the films of acclaimed
directors such as Asghar Farhadi, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Lucrecia Martel in relation
to the social, political, and cultural characteristics of neoliberalism. By connecting
the aesthetics of art cinema to current social antagonisms, Lykidis positions class
as a central concern in our understanding of the polarized dynamics of late capitalism
and the escalating provocations of todays film auteurs. Alex Lykidis is Associate
Professor of Film Studies in the English Department at Montclair State University,
USA
