Disintegration in Frames is theoretically insightful, but never too dense to be inaccessible to general readership. The book is a great resource for anyone interested in the role of cinema in the formation of Yugoslav ethno-nationalisms (and cinema as a reflection of these ethno-nationalisms). The book is full of fun insights, such as the discussion of phallic connotations of the Yugoslav ritual of carrying "the baton of youth," and the reference to such pan-Yugoslav rituals in the work of New Primitivs in late 1980s and early 1990s: "sucking of the pole". The chapter on Yugoslav "black wave" is extremely insightful for anyone interested in the works of such masters as Dusan Makavejev, Zelimir Zilnik and Karpo Godina. Levi's critique of Emir Kusturica's work sets high standards for future scholarship on this director's work. Highly recommended.
