A critical look at the manner in which love—in its broadest sense—is portrayed in cinema from across Europe and the United States, this volume exposes constructed notions of \"Europeanness\" that both set Europe apart and define some parts of it as more \"European\" than others. Through the international distribution process, these films in turn engage with ideas of Europe from both outside and within, while some, treated extensively in this volume, even offer alternative models of love. A bracing collection of essays from top film scholars, \u003cem\u003eEurope and Love in Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the centrality of desire to film narrative and explores multiple models of love within Europe's frontiers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Rewarding and invigorating'\u003c\/em\u003e – Necsus, Fiona Handyside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction   \u003cstrong\u003ePart One: Disciplinary and Historical Contexts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 1: Cinema and Academia: Of Objects of Love and Objects of Study– Thomas Elsaesser Chapter 2: For Love or Money: Transnational Developments in European Cinema in the 1920s – Andrew Higson Chapter 3: Love beyond the Nation: Cosmopolitanism and Transational Desire in Cinema – Tim Bergfelder   \u003cstrong\u003ePart Two: Impossible Loves\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Chapter 4: Love in two British films of the late silent period: Hindle Wakes (Maurice Elvey, 1927) and Piccadilly (E.A.
