The first book-length study on post-communist Hungarian cinema and masculinities Offers an in-depth analysis of male figures in Hungarian cinema and the identity-politics of post-communism Explores post-communist cinema and its masculinities in a wide social, cultural and historical perspective

This book investigates the formations of masculinity in Hungarian cinema after the fall of communism and explores some of the cultural phenomena of the years following the 1989 regime change. The films explored offer a unique perspective encompassing two entirely different worlds: state socialism and neoliberal capitalism. The films suggest that Eastern Europe is somehow different than its western counterpart and that its subjects are marked by what they went through before and after 1989. These films are all remembering, interpreting, picturing, marketing and trying to come to terms with this difference¿with the memory and effects of state-socialism. In looking closely at the films¿ male figures, one may not only get a glimpse of the dramatic changes Eastern European societies went through after the fall of communism but also see the brave new world of global neoliberal capitalism through the eyes of the Eastern European newcomers.
