"Hillman s groundbreaking study enables both serious and casual
film students to approach these works with sharpened vision and
improved hearing." Klaus Phillips, Hollins University
Unsettling Scores: German Film, Music, and Ideology examines the
use of classical music in film, particularly in the New German
Cinema of the 1970s and early 80s. By integrating the music of
Beethoven, Mahler, and others into their films, directors such as
Fassbinder, Kluge, and Syberberg consciously called attention to
its cultural significance. Through this music their films could
reference and, in some cases, explore an embedded cultural
tradition that included German nationalism and the rise of Nazism,
especially during a period when German films were gaining
international attention for the first time since the 1920s.
Classical music conditioned the responses of German audiences and
was, in turn, reinterpreted in new cinematic contexts. In this
pioneering volume, Hillman enriches our understanding of the
powerful effects of music in cinema and the aesthetic and dramatic
concerns of postwar German filmmakers."
