About this Book

"In pursuing the variety of approaches, trends, and stylistic experiments in the cinema of the early years of Weimar, Expressionist Film - New Perspectives strives for a picture of the cinema of this period that reflects in thematic as well as stylistic terms the vibrant and multifaceted cultural and political developments of the time. The book is a joint venture of the Center for European Film Studies at the University of Edinburgh, the Institute for Film Studies at the University of Mainz, and the German Film Museum in Frankfurt am Main."--BOOK JACKET.
