Product Description
Review
The thesis of this unusually interesting book is that the German films of the twenties were filled with premonitions of the German totalitarianism of the thirties.
(Nation )
One of the great works of film history, this look at early German cinema, first published in 1947, is still a must-have for cineastes and scholars alike.
(H.J. Kirchhoff Toronto Globe and Mail )
The book is an invaluable guide to a golden period of cinema.
(Christopher Wood The Times )
Review
An undisputed classic of modern film historiography, Kracauer's From Caligari to Hitler had a major impact on the way we relate movies to history and society. Although Kracauer is not afraid of using such contested concepts as collective psychology and German 'soul,' his productive readings of Weimar films as harbingers of emerging fascism still resonate today. Leonardo Quaresima's engaging and erudite introduction is critical in situating Kracauer's project both in its historical moment and in our time.
(Anton Kaes, University of California, Berkeley )
