Review Quotes: [A] newly nuanced portrait of the interruptions and interconnections between the film cultures of late Weimar and early National Socialist Germany. . . . Each of the essays in the volume will find an eager readership for its particular topic; taken together, the articles . . . promise to have a significant impact on how German Studies as a field understands the critical period between the end of Weimar democracy and the rise of Nazism -- as an era of 'fluid' movement as well as crisis.--Jennifer Kapczynski "MONATSHEFTE"
