Material type:
TextSeries: Framing FilmPublisher: Amsterdam University Press, Description: 1 online resource (426 p.)ISBN: 9789048528370Subject(s): Art | Social Science / Media Studies | Social sciencesGenre/Form: Electronic books.Online resources: View this content on Open Research Library. Summary: Dutch cinema is typically treated only in terms of prewar films or documentaries, leaving postwar fictional film largely understudied. At the same time, a Hollandse School, first named in the 1980s, has developed through deadpan, ironic films like those of director and actor Alex van Warmerdam. Using seminal theories on humor and comedy, this book explores a number of Dutch films using the notion of categories, such as low-class comedies, neurotic romances, deliberate camp, and grotesque satire. With its original approach, this study makes surprising connections between Dutch films from various decades.
