Through a study of the contemporary German film movement the Berlin
School, Olivia Landry examines how narrative film has responded to
our highly digitalized and mediatized age, not with a focus on
stasis and realism, but by turning back to movement, spectacle, and
performance. She argues that a preoccupation with presence,
liveness, and affect-all of which are viewed as critical components
of live performance-can be found in many of the films of the Berlin
School. Challenging the perception that the Berlin School is a
sheer adherent of "slow cinema," Landry closely analyzes the use of
movement, dynamism, presence, and speed in a broad selection of
films to show how filmmakers such as Christian Petzold, Angela
Schanelec, Thomas Arslan, and Christoph Hochhausler invoke the
pulse of the kinesthetic and the tangibly affective. Her analysis
draws on an array of film theories from early materialism to body
theories, phenomenology, and contemporary affect theories. Arguing
that these theories readily and energetically forge a path from
film to performance, Landry traces a trajectory between the two
through which live experience, presence, spectacle,
intersubjectivity, and the body in motion emerge and powerfully
intersect. Ultimately, Movement and Performance in Berlin School
Cinema expands the methodological and disciplinary boundaries of
film studies by offering new ways of articulating and understanding
movement in cinema.
