In Allegories of the End of Capitalism, Milo Sweedler analyses six films released between 2011 and 2015. He examines how filmmakers from six different countries, across four continents, give narrative and audio-visual form to the frustration and anger that burst into public view in 2011, the ongoing class war between the super-rich and the rest of the world's population, and the insurrection that it yet to come. 'Allegories of the End of Capitalism ventures beyond the typical ambit of Hollywood Left productions to provide astute readings of six films from around the globe that agitate for revolution.' Kirk Boyle, co-editor of The Great Recession in Fiction, Film, and Television
