Kritik
(A)n enormously important and didactically helpful intervention ... (The book) lives up to the promise of its title and should soon become mandatory reading for everyone interested in new perspectives on Weimar Cinema. FILMBLATT The chapters excel in historically contextualizing their respective films. Richly illustrated. Generally strong essays and clear prose. MONATSHEFTEBR> Goes beyond a mere reevaluation of film classics in matters of film and topic selection... The essays offer readers fresh perspectives on ... a cornucopia of undiscovered or relatively unknown filmic gems, paired with long overdue approaches of media studies ... The volume keeps its promise as claimed in the subtitle, as it genuinely rediscovers Germany's filmic legacy. GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW The films discussed here clearly warrant another look. Throughout the volume, the scholars' excitement about exploring this hitherto uncharted territory is palpable and infectious. The balance of theoretical scaffolding and ambitious storytelling make the articles ... perfectly suited for undergraduates and should find ample use in film classes. Indeed the volume should inspire more classes on the early years of German cinema. As we will likely see an abundance of centennial celebrations and explorations of the Weimar era in the years ahead, this volume will prove to be a very helpful guide. WOMEN IN GERMAN NEWSLETTER Rogowski's outstanding collection moves beyond the familiar canon to reevaluate the diverse legacy of Weimar film. Eighteen readable, engaging essays by noted scholars provide new social, historical, and aesthetic contexts for understanding Weimar cinema and introduce readers to less-familiar popular, abstract, documentary, and genre films ... Essential. CHOICE A bold attempt at expanding the field and revising the standard literature... (Its) main achievement is the emphasis it places on a formerly neglected set of films and topics. A detailed filmography provides . useful information on availability... (The fact that the volume) is generously illustrated ... helps greatly. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENTmehr
