An essential work of the cinematic history of the Weimar Republic
by a leading figure of film criticism First published in 1947, From
Caligari to Hitler remains an undisputed landmark study of the rich
cinematic history of the Weimar Republic. Prominent film critic
Siegfried Kracauer examines German society from 1921 to 1933, in
light of such movies as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, M, Metropolis,
and The Blue Angel. He explores the connections among film
aesthetics, the prevailing psychological state of Germans in the
Weimar era, and the evolving social and political reality of the
time. Kracauer makes a startling (and still controversial) claim:
films as popular art provide insight into the unconscious
motivations and fantasies of a nation. With a critical introduction
by Leonardo Quaresima which provides context for Kracauer's
scholarship and his contributions to film studies, this Princeton
Classics edition makes an influential work available to new
generations of cinema enthusiasts.
