In a bold distinction from previous anthologies on this topic, this book constructs a history of German cinema not according to famous directors, artistic movements or thematic concerns, but primarily according to popularity. The resulting collection of essays provides a fresh angle of well-known classics, but also covers previously ignored films. The style is informative, succinct and accessible, and the content will appeal to general film fans as much as to film students and scholars.--Tim Bergfelder, University of Southampton The volume could be used in conjunction with a course on German film and makes for interesting reading in its own right.--James M. Skidmore Seminar Twenty-four German films presented in a concise and highly readable style for the discerning film fan and student of film history. The emphasis on popular films side by side with well-known classics is particularly welcome.--Sabine Hake, University of Texas at Austin thoughtful analysis that makes this a handy compendium. Highly recommended.--Choice
