New essays by leading scholars giving a new picture of the variety
of German expressionist cinema. This volume of fresh essays by
leading scholars develops a new approach to expressionist film. For
nearly half a century Siegfried Kracauer's From Caligari to Hitler
and Lotte Eisner's The Haunted Screen have shapedthe understanding
of the cinema of this period. However, fifty years on, there is a
growing awareness that a new account is overdue. This attempt to
rewrite the story of expressionist cinema begins with a
fundamentally new interpretation of Dr. Caligari, and together with
fresh views of other expressionist classics, offers new
perspectives on important alternative film styles and genres that
emerged in films by such eminent directors as Ernst Lubitsch, Joe
May, Fritz Lang, Karl Grune, F. W. Murnau, and E. A. Dupont. In
pursuing such variety, the book strives for a picture of the cinema
in the early years of Weimar that in thematic as well as stylistic
terms reflects the vibrant, multifaceted cultural and political
developments of the period. The book is a joint venture of the
Centre for European Film Studies at the University of Edinburgh,
the Institute for Film Studies at the University of Mainz, and the
German Film Museum in Frankfurt. The late Dietrich Scheunemann was
Professor of German at the University of Edinburgh and wrote and
edited several books on German literature and on film and media.
AMBITIOUS salesman Ian Buchan has four passions. His job, his wife,
his children ... and a series of lovers. Life becomes even more
complicated when he is promoted to run a factory which is jinxed by
a series of accidents. The outdated plant makes metal forgings in
Britain's Black Country. But as the 20th Century draws to a close,
heavy industry is on its last legs. Even the owners want the
factory closed. At the heart of the story is risk-taker Buchan:
managing, motivating ... and seducing. With the help of his women
he comes up with a daring plan to save his factory. It is plain
that author David MacRae had a ringside seat for events he crisply
describes. The action switches from bedroom to boardroom. Triumph
mingles with tragedy. Buchan's background music is provided by
hammers pounding on the factory's anvils. Are they beating out an
anthem for success, or sounding his retreat?
