Description
Summary:	Queer cinema has gained scholarly attention in recent years as a manifestation of the conflicts, anxieties, and liberation of European sexuality. Robin Griffiths' Queer Cinema in Europe , the first anthology of its kind, probes the questions and implications of sex, gender, and identity in contemporary European filmmaking.

This volume explores a wide scope of films, directors, and genres to forge a new understanding of what it means to be queer in the twenty-first century.
