This is the first comprehensive study of magic§realism in cinema. Cinemagic realism deserves close §examination because of its extensive presence and §its power to combine aesthetic sophistication with §political critique. The work traces magic realism §from the criticism of pictorial art of early 20th-§century Germany, through Latin American literature, §to the recent US scholarly formulations. In studying §magic realism as a cross-cultural and cross-medial §phenomenon, the book conceptualizes trickster §aesthetics that are applied in the analysis of §films: Time of the Gypsies (Yugoslavia), Being John §Malkovich (USA), and Run Lola Run (Germany), which §jubilantly practice the magic of their §medium. Imaginative, extensively researched, and §philosophically rewarding, this work will appeal not §only to film, media studies, and literary scholars §but also to a wide range of readers, Susan §Linville, U of Colorado. CINEMAGIC is a very §perceptive and original must read study with a §strong cross-cultural base, Andrew Horton, U of §Oklahoma. Popovich s daring book vitally §positions cinemagic realism at the very core of §world cinema, Frederick L. Aldama, Ohio State U.
