Critique / Article
'Gow's book valuably enhances our understanding of the cinematic efflorescence that produced Kiarostami, Makhmalbaf, Panahi and others by expanding its boundaries both temporally and geographically.' - Godfrey Cheshire, film critic and filmmaker; 'The book makes an important contribution to studies of Iranian cinema by offering a much needed nuanced approach that balances brilliantly the conceptual with the analytical.' - Dimitris Eleftheriotis, University of Glasgow; 'Gow reveals hidden treasures rarely discussed in the context of Iranian cinema. This book ... will become an indispensable reference and guide for amateurs, students, and scholars of Iranian cinema.' - Nasrin Rahimieh, University of California, Irvine; 'Juxtaposing the rich and heterogeneous Iranian emigre films with those that are seen to constitute the New Iranian Cinema, Gow's lucidly written book offers fresh and nuanced insight about its subject matter. This is an essential book for both Iranian cinema enthusiasts and those interested in current debates about 'national cinemas' in film studies.' - Saeed Zeydabadi-Nejad, School of Oriental and African Studies
