Christian Petzold (b. 1960) is the best-known filmmaker associated
with the "Berlin School" of postunification German cinema.
Identifying as an intellectual, Petzold self-consciously approaches
his work for both the big and the small screen by weaving critical
reflection on the very conditions of contemporary filmmaking into
his approach. Archeologically reconstructing genre filmmaking in a
national film production context that makes the production of genre
cinema virtually impossible, he repeatedly draws on plots from
classic films, including Alfred Hitchcock’s, in order to provide
his viewers with the distinct pleasures only cinema can instill
without, however, allowing his audience the comforts the "cinema of
identification" affords them. Including thirty-five interviews,
Christian Petzold: Interviews is the first book in any language to
document how one of Germany’s best-known directors thinking about
his work has evolved over the course of a quarter of a century,
spanning his days as a flailing student filmmaker in the early
1990s in postunified Germany to 2020, when his reputation as one of
world cinema’s most respected auteurs has been firmly enshrined.
The interviews collected here—thirty of which are published in
English for the first time—highlight Petzold’s career-long
commitment to foregrounding how economic operations affect
individual lives. The volume makes for a rich resource for readers
interested in Petzold’s work or contemporary German cinema but
also those looking for theoretically challenging and sophisticated
commentary offered by one of global art cinema’s leading figures.
