Expressionism in the Cinema

BookHardcover

Product description

'The essays in Brill and Rhodes' Expressionism in the Cinema not only extend the scholarship on Expressionist films, though that, in itself, would be ample contribution. They also capture the essence - the imagery, the irony, the worldview - that animates these films, and create thoughtful connections to wider social and cultural processes.'
Cynthia Miller, Emerson College Boston

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 remedy 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-canonises 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.

As far as book titles are concerned, Jennette McCurdy's memoir surely has one of the most provocative ones. When the actress rose to fame through the Nickelodeon shows iCarly and Sam & Cat, nobody could have imagined the turmoil behind the scenes - her family's financial insecurity, a very strict upbringing, dehumanizing auditions, emotional abuse from her mother, and immense pressure from the show's producer. How do you undo a lifetime of manipulation, and destructive coping mechanisms, and land to stand on your own feet? In I'm Glad My Mom Died, she delves deep into these uncomfortable topics with refreshing frankness and surprisingly dark humor. Every chapter closes with a metaphorical gut punch that makes putting the book down nearly impossible. An infuriating, yet highly captivating read and one of the best memoirs to come out of 2022.
fast paced, witty and a very special main character, Evelyn reflects on her relentless rise to the top as an actress. Throughout the story, my relationship to Evelyn changed multiple times and often I could not relate to her or her decisions, nevertheless I loved her, her sarcastic-self and the storys she had to tell about all the men she loved or left.
Vielleicht muss man nicht alle seine Filme gesehen haben, man muss sie nicht einmal mögen. Aber die Leidenschaft, die Christoph Schlingensief in seine Arbeit gesteckt hat, der Lebenshunger, die intelligente Aufmüpfigkeit und Renitenz, die man besonders beim Lesen seiner Interviews verspürt, die packt einen immer noch.

Seine Ehefrau Aino Laberenz hat 10 Jahre nach seinem Tod die klügsten und schönsten Interviews chronologisch zusammengestellt, Diedrich Diederichsen hat ein tolles Vorwort beigesteuert. Man kann förmlich mitlesen, wie er älter, ernsthafter und focussierter wird. Weise war er jedoch immer und auf sehr sympathische Weise nerdig.

Gerade heute fehlt seine Stimme sehr.
Viola Davis impresses with intensity in cinema, for television and on stage. In 'Finding me' we accompany the actress through her childhood and to the roots of her strength.
It's a tough road full of adversity, setbacks and trauma.
Viola's powerful writing is breathtaking, relentlessly honest and full of wise insights.
I really love it.
Triumph and trauma go hand in hand in the life of this multi-talented icon.
Billy Porter describes in the memoir 'unprotected', the extreme highs and lows of a astonishing life. With mischievousness, merciless honesty and without the slightest shyness about showing himself vulnerable.
The search for authenticity, hope and healing until the pain is truly overcome is a long one.
This is not just a memoir - it's a testimony!
Charmingly and with ease, Billy Porter transports the extravagance of his amazing singing voice into a lively account full of playful swerves.
Standing ovations for so much audacity!
