German Expressionist Films by Paul Cooke

Introducing readers to one of the must influential film movements of the 20th century, responsible for such widely-known classics as Nosferatu, Metropolis and The Blue Angel, this Pocket Essential travels all the way from Germany in the swinging Twenties to explain the context and main themes of German Expressionism, to America in the '40s and '50s, where exiles such as Billy Wilder and Fritz Lang were transforming Hollywood. Packed full of facts and analysis of many classic films, this is the best starting point for anyone interested in this period of film history.
Paul Cooke is a lecturer in German Studies at the University of Wales Abersytwyth. He has published widely on aspects of German literature, politics and film.
