Finally, a comprehensive study of the German cinema that offers insightful close readings and contextual analyses to specialists in film and German studies, as well as to a more general readership.

German Cinema is the first English-language volume to provide a comprehensive historical overview of German film from the silent era to the present, as well as close readings of individual films.
