Expressionism in the Cinema by Olaf Brill

Expressionism in the Cinema by Olaf Brill

One of the most visually striking traditions in cinema, for too long Expressionism has been a neglected critical category of research in film history and aesthetics. The fifteen essays in this anthology remedies this by revisiting key German films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922), and also provide original critical research into more obscure titles like Nerven (1919) and The Phantom Carriage (1921), films that were produced in the silent and early sound era in countries ranging from France, Sweden and Hungary, to the United States and Mexico. An innovative and wide-ranging collection, Expressionism in the Cinema re-canonizes the classical Expressionist aesthetic, extending the critical and historical discussion beyond pre-existing scholarship into comparative and interdisciplinary areas of film research that reach across national boundaries.

Olaf Brill is a German-based freelance writer and editor for film institutes, museums and festivals, including the German Film Institute DIF, Frankfurt, the Filmmuseum Berlin, and CineGraph, Hamburg. Gary D. Rhodes, Ph.D., currently serves as Postgraduate Director for Film Studies at the Queen s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
