Before Hollywood's golden age, German expressionist film was
arguably the most important cinematic movement in the medium's
history. These 'symphonies of... iridescent movement' of Weimar
cinema provide some of cinema's most iconic images, and its vivid
contrasts and dark spaces constitute a major influence on Hollywood
classics such as "Citizen Kane" (1941) and "Sunset Boulevard
"(1950). This volume also offers insights into the technical and
thematic developments of the Weimar film. Covering classics such as
"The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" (1920) and "Nosferatu" (1922) as
well as under-appreciated examples such as Asphalt (1929), this
volume forms an essential introduction to one of cinema's most
historically important movements.
