Essayists examine such films as Guy Ritchie's \u003ci\u003eThe Man from U.N.C.L.E.\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven Spielberg's \u003ci\u003eBridge of Spies\u003c\/i\u003e, Ethan Coen and Joel Coen's \u003ci\u003eHail, Caesar!\u003c\/i\u003e, David Leitch's \u003ci\u003eAtomic Blonde\u003c\/i\u003e, Guillermo del Toro's \u003ci\u003eThe Shape of Water\u003c\/i\u003e, Ryan Coogler's \u003ci\u003eBlack Panther\u003c\/i\u003e, and Francis Lawrence's \u003ci\u003eRed Sparrow\u003c\/i\u003e, among others, as well as such television shows as \u003ci\u003eComrade Detective\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Americans\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors to this collection interrogate the revival of the Cold War movie genre from multiple angles and examine the issues of patriotism, national identity, otherness, gender, and corruption. They consider cinematic aesthetics and the ethics of these representations. They reveal how Cold War imagery shapes audiences' understanding of the period in general and of the relationship between the US and Russia in particular. The authors complicate traditional definitions of the Cold War film and invite readers to discover a new phase in the Cold War movie genre: Cold War II.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTatiana Prorokova-Konrad \u003c\/b\u003eis a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna.
