Featuring essays from both recognised and up-and-coming scholars in Scandinavian, transnational and feminist film and media studies, this book also includes an original interview with Bier, addressing some of the provocative readings of her films advanced by the volume's contributors.Key featuresThe first volume to examine Susanne Bier's entire oeuvreIncludes original research from prestigious scholars in Scandinavian, transnational and feminist film and media studiesWritten in engaging, accessible prose enlivened by detailed case studies Engages with critical issues in Danish cinema related to screenwriting, collaboration, authorship, gender, identity, ethics, genre, practitioner's agency and receptionFeatures an original interview with Susanne Bier
