In Part One, he gives an overview of what he terms the "Euro-American art film," which is characterized by prominent use of the English language, a European art-film director, cast and crew from at least two countries, and a stylistic mixing of European art film and American entertainment.
The second part of Lev's study examines in detail five examples of the Euro-American art film: Contempt (Jean-Luc Godard, 1963), Blow-up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966), The Canturbury Tales (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1972), and The Last Emperor (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1987). These case studies reveal that the European art film has had a strong influence on world cinema and that many Euro-American films are truly cultural blends rather than abject takeovers by Hollywood cinema." -- Back coverNotes: Filmography: p.
