Both politically and aesthetically, the contemporary German and
Austrian film landscape is a far cry from the early days of the
medium, when critics like Siegfried Kracauer produced foundational
works of film theory amid the tumult of the early twentieth
century. Yet, as Leila Mukhida demonstrates in this innovative
study, the writings of figures like Kracauer and Walter Benjamin in
fact remain an undervalued tool for understanding political cinema
today. Through illuminating explorations of Michael Haneke, Valeska
Grisebach, Andreas Dresen, and other filmmakers of the
post-reunification era, Mukhida develops an analysis centered on
film aesthetics and experience, showing how medium-specific devices
like lighting, sound, and mise-en-scene can help to cultivate
political sensitivity in spectators.
