    One Groove, Various Vibes: 60s European Crime Cinema

    Till the 70s, there was a truly European commercial cinema which defined itself through shared genres given individual national twists. The genre most European nations contributed to in the 60s was crime cinema: The Federal Republic of Germany had its Edgar Wallace-cycle and Italy later its giallo while France celebrated the feats of its secret service and England the quirky genius of an elderly lady called Miss Marple. These and masses of other series and cycles on both sides of the Iron Curtain, international co-productions almost all, are often discussed as separate entities – when in fact they're all inter-connected, parts of one complex development in which genres shape and reshape to accommodate changing audience tastes. In this course we'll follow the development of Europe's 60s crime cinema which starts in the late 50s and peters out in the early 70s; we'll get to know its protagonists behind as well as in front of the camera; and we'll discuss the idea of genre apropos a development that touches a variety of cinematic idioms (ao. horror and comedy).
