A philosophical exploration of how modern global cinema represents everyday means of resisting authoritarianism and totalitarianism V�clav Havel's concept of "living within the truth" in an authoritarian regime frames Marguerite La Caze's readings of international cinema, highlighting forms of resistance in which seemingly pre- or nonpolitical aspects of life-such as professional labor, exile, and truth telling-can be recognized as political when seen against a backdrop of general acquiescence. La Caze's case studies cross genres, historical eras, and national contexts: the apartheid regime in South Africa, in A Dry White Season; post-Suharto Indonesia, in The Look of Silence; 1980s East Germany, in Barbara; the Chilean military dictatorship, in No; contemporary Iran, in A Separation; and current-day Saudi Arabia, in Wadjda. This book explores the films' use of image, sound, narrative, and character in dialogue with the work of Simone de Beauvoir, Aim� Cesaire, Hannah Arendt, Sara Ahmed, and W. E. B. Du Bois to reveal how cinema depicts ordinary people enacting their own philosophies of defiance.
