The authors tackle questions about postmodernity raised by these films and the changed wrought in European cities over the last two decades under the effects of political change, from the postcommunist era in Moscow and Berlin to the effects of Thatcherism in Edinburgh and London._x000D__x000D_A fascinating exploration with interest for Film Studies, Urban theory, Cultural and Social Studies and Politics.
