Description of  The Cinema of Manoel de Oliveira: Modernity, Intermediality and the Uncanny

This volume, the first to discuss Oliveira's later works in English, fills this incredible gap in scholarship on the director with fresh and original analysis of over 50 of Oliveira's films, ranging from 1963's Rite of Spring to 2009's Eccentricities of a Blonde-haired Girl.
