註釋
The Politics of Nordsploitation
takes a transnational approach to exploring Nordic 'exploitation' films in their industrial contexts, viewing them as not only political manifestations of domestic considerations but also to position Nordic film cultures in a global context. Incorporating a wide range of films, from international cult classics like
They Call Her One Eye
(1974), homegrown martial arts films like
The Ninja Mission
(1984) to contemporary crowd-sourced fan productions like
Iron Sky
(2012), this volume examines the remarkable diversity of genre-based, commercially and culturally exploitative film production throughout the Nordic countries – emphasized here through the term 'Nordsploitation'.
This volume provides a historical exposition of largely ignored marginal films and film cultural patterns. It also outlines how influential these films have been in shaping the development of Nordic cinema. The effects are visible in the films of the new millennium as previously marginalized practices now enter the mainstream. With sharp insights and new research,
The Politics of Nordsploitation
redefines the concept of 'exploitation' and its role in small nation cinemas.
