  • Cinema in Democratizing Germany
    Heide Fehrenbach
    Heide Fehrenbach analyzes the important role cinema played in the reconstruction of German cultural and political identity between 1945 and 1962. Concentrating on the former West Germany, she explores the complex political uses of film--and the meanings attributed to film representation and spectatorship--during a period of abrupt transition to democracy. According to Fehr...

  • Mists of Regret
    Dudley Andrew
    Just before World War II, French cinema reached a high point that has been dubbed the style of 'poetic realism.' Working with unforgettable actors like Jean Gabin and Arletty, directors such as Renoir, Carné, Gremillon, Duvivier, and Chenal routinely captured the prizes for best film at every festival and in every country, and their accomplishments led to general agreement that...

  • Revisioning History
    In Revisioning History thirteen historians from around the world look at the historical film on its own terms, not as it compares to written history but as a unique way of recounting the past. How does film construct a historical world? What are the rules, codes, and strategies by which it brings the past to life? What does that historical construction mean to us? In grappling ...

  • The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies
    Bill Palmer / Karen Palmer / Ric Meyers
    The Encyclopedia covers the genre from 1920 to 1994. The genre, however, can be very confusing: films often have several titles, and many of the stars have more than one pseudonym. In an effort to clarify some of the confusion, the authors have included all the information available to them on almost 3,300 films. Each entry includes a listing of the production company, the cast...

  • Rise and Fall of the Horror Film
    David Soren
    The history of the horror film has been the subject of many books, many of them unfortunately picture books. Where more serious efforts have been made, the genre has been explored primarily from a chronological/factual or socio-economic point of view. Studies by sub-genre (vampires, wolf men, etc.) also may be cited. In an effort to begin to fill that gap and to try to explain ...

  • Soul in Suspense
    Neil P Hurley / Neil P. Hurley / Neil PHurley
    Neil Hurley demonstrates Hitchcock’s covert preoccupation with spiritual themes-conscience, guilt, false accusation, crises as catalysts of character development, personal romance, the salvation of nations, and the 'unjustly accused.' This last theme is linked in profound ways to Hitchcock’s secular Christ types, who find purpose and undiscovered courage and companionship in ha...

    Kenneth S. Calhoon
    The title of this collection echoes Siegfried Kracauer’s statement that the lavish movie palaces of 1920s Germany served to stimulate peripheral vision and thus prevent the audience from being absorbed by the spectacle itself. In consideration of questions concerning spatial transformations in and around Weimar cinema, the eight essays in this volume, though some more explicitl...

Virginia Wexman’s acute observations about movie stars and acting techniques show that Hollywood has often had the most powerful voice in demonstrating socially sanctioned ways of becoming a couple.

  • Film as ethnography
    This work examines the reasons why anthropologists have not used the camera as a research instrument or film as a means of communicating ethnographic knowledge. It suggests that images and words in this discipline operate on different logical levels; that they are hierarchically related; that whereas writings may encompass the images produced by film, the inverse of this cannot...
