cinema of Austria and Switzerland

Austria and Switzerland have the common image of countries devoid of drama, whose problems have essentially been solved. In Cinema of Austria and Switzerland, 1969: 2015, Ricardo Luiz de Souza analyses a series of films made in the two countries during this period, looking at key filmmakers such as Alain Tanner, Gotz Spielmann, Ulrich Seidl and Michael Haneke, as well as other lesser-known names and films. And, without pretending to compose an exhaustive panel of both cinematographies, some trends and characteristics are defined by analysing these films.
