No End in Sight by Anna Krakus
Offers a critical analysis of Polish cinema and literature during the transformative late Socialist period of the 1970s and 1980s. Anna Krakus details how conceptions of time, permanence, and endings shaped major Polish artistic works. She further demonstrates how film and literature played a major role in shaping political consciousness during this highly charged era.
Krakus has given an incredible amount of attention and insight into a field that is underrepresented in the research of Polish filmOne of the things that Krakus does, which is refreshing, is that she refuses to reduce certain movies to a set of ideological symptoms—in this case, associating Polish cinema mainly either with propaganda or anticommunist notion. Krakus is more interested in analyzing the films than in cataloging them, to the book and reader's benefit."" - Konrad Klejsa, University of Lodz
Anna Krakus is assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures at the University of Southern California.
