Synopsis "Critical History of German Film, Second Edition (Studies in German Literature l) (in English)"
From early masterpieces such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Metropolis (1927) to the post-1945 films of Fassbinder, Herzog, and Wenders, German film constitutes a crucial part of the history of world cinema. It helped to shape Hollywood cinema and had a major impact on other cinemas as well. This tried and tested book, popular in college classrooms and among general-interest readers, is the most comprehensive and readable introduction to the history of German cinema, specifically designed to meet the needs of those who want a comprehensible, accessible introduction to the subject. There is no other book that covers the history of German cinema in the same depth and also explores the genesis and meaning of the most important masterpieces in German film history. It does so in chapters devoted to each of thirty-two individual films and in seven interchapters that provide context for historical periods from early German cinema to postunification. The book now appears in an improved, expanded, and up-to-date second edition that covers five additional films, expands the coverage of women's cinema, and brings the history of filmmaking in Germany up to the present moment. The book is specifically designed to appeal to cinema aficionados and for use in college classrooms, where it has been greeted with acclaim by students and teachers alike.Stephen Brockmann is Professor of German at Carnegie Mellon University.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Critical Film History and German StudiesPART ONE: EARLY GERMAN FILM HISTORY 1895-1918Early German Film History 1895-1918: Historical OverviewDer Student von Prag (1913) and Learning to LookPART TWO: WEIMAR CINEMA 1919-1933Weimar Cinema 1919-1933: Historical OverviewDas Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) or Film as HypnosisDer letzte Mann (1924) or Learning to MoveDie Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed (1926): The Birth of the Feature-Length Animation FilmMetropolis (1927) or Technology and SexDer blaue Engel (1930) and Learning to TalkM (1931) or Sound and TerrorPART THREE: NAZI CINEMA 1933-1945Nazi Cinema 1933-1945: Historical OverviewTriumph des Willens (1935): Documentary and PropagandaHallo Janine (1939): Dancing and Singing to HappinessDie groe Liebe (1942) or Love and WarPART FOUR: GERMAN CINEMA AT THE ZERO HOUR 1945-1949German Cinema at the Zero Hour 1945-1949: Historical OverviewDie Mörder sind unter uns (1946): The Rubble FilmPART FIVE: POSTWAR EAST GERMAN CINEMA 1949-1989Postwar East German Cinema 1949-1989: Historical OverviewSonnensucher (1958) or Searching for the Socialist SunSpur der Steine (1966) or Traces of RepressionDie Legende von Paul und Paula (1973) or East Germany in the '70sSolo Sunny (1980) or Even Socialism Can't Stave Off LonelinessPART SIX: POSTWAR WEST GERMAN CINEMA 1949-1989Postwar West German Cinema 1949-1989: Historical OverviewGrün ist die Heide (1951) and the Reinvention of the German Homeland in Living ColorDie Brücke (1959): Film and WarDer junge Törless (1966) or Recapturing TraditionAguirre, der Zorn Gottes (1972): Film and the SublimeDeutschland im Herbst (1978) or Film and PoliticsDie Ehe der Maria Braun (1979) or West Germany RebuildsDie Blechtrommel (1979) or Coming to Terms with the Nazi PastDie bleierne Zeit (1981): Film and TerrorismMänner (1985) and the New German Film ComedyDer Himmel über Berlin (1987): Berlin, City of AngelsPART SEVEN: GERMAN FILM AFTER REUNIFICATION 1990-2019German Film after Reunification 1990-2019: Historical OverviewDer bewegte Mann (1994) or West German Self-AbsorptionRossini (1997) or West German Self-Absorption CriticizedLola rennt (1998) or Cool GermaniaGood Bye Lenin!
