Reviews
"Yet this assemblage of interviews does not simply collectively confirm that Petzold is the ideal interviewee--or just an overall nice guy. The gain of this volume is its cumulative presentation of a filmmaker that, though certainly attuned to the tenor of the time, has long moved beyond any kind of categorical placement. Indeed, his erstwhile association with the Berlin School becomes almost irrelevant with each turn of the page. Here Petzold assumes his place as an accomplished global filmmaker, driven by stories rather than categories of aesthetic trends and national themes. Rich and highly readable, this volume deserves to find a wide readership among film scholars and enthusiasts alike.--Olivia Landry ""The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory"""
