Review Quotes: An important contribution to the literature on Weimar cinema, originally published in 2010, now available in an economical paperback edition. . . . The editor, Christian Rogowski . . . places in focus not the canonical films of the time like Caligari, Nosferatu, or Metropolis, but instead important films of the 'second rank' and specific thematic connections. . . . Almost all the essays are conceived and formulated at a high level and make visible connections between film and society in the Weimar period. The approximately sixty images are helpful to the reader. . . .-- "HANS-HELMUT PRINZLER, WWW.HHPRINZLER.DE"
