New German Cinema and Its Global Contexts A Transnational Art Cinema

"The New German Cinema of the 1970s and early 1980s has often been perceived as nationally introspective, primarily concerned with the legacies of the country's recent past. This excellent compilation of original and illuminating essays revises and expands this perception and productively locates the New German Cinema in its international and transnational contexts, highlighting in the process some often neglected filmmakers and films. Tim Bergfelder, University of Southampton

Critically reimagining the historical framework and thematic possibilities of New German Cinema to include less conventional filmmakers, films, topics, forms, and global influences, the stunning collection of essays that spans New German Cinema and Its Global Contexts presents an illuminating return to one of Europe's most important film movements.
