Description
"In this important new book, Pam Cook explores film culture's obsession with the past through analyses of a wide range of films, from Mildred Pierce and Brief Encounter to Raging Bull and Dance With a Stranger. She engages with current debates about the role of cinema in mediating history through memory and nostalgia through a discussion of In the Mood for Love and Far From Heaven, suggesting that many films use strategies of memory to challenge established ideas of history, and the traditional role of historians."--Jacket.
