Table of ContentsReviewsOffering both historical and aesthetic analysis of film in the culture of the Weimar Republic, St. Pierre (English, Simon Fraser Univ.) attempts to redefine how cinematic production during the period between 1918 and 1933 should be categorized and understood. Specifically, in considering the filmmaker, or Filmemacher, he highlights the impact of the collaborations between cinematographers and directors on film production and film aesthetics. For St. Pierre, both types of artists can be considered filmmakers. The author constructs a history of Weimar cinema using the work of cinematographers Theodor Sparkuhl, Karl Freund, Carl Hoffmann, Fritz Arno Wagner, Gunther Rittau, Guido Seeber, and Rudolph Mate, among others. Devoting a chapter to each, St. Pierre looks at the work of these artists across the oeuvres of Weimar cinema's major directors: Ernst Lubitsch, Fritz Lang, F. W. Murnau, et al. By this means, St. Pierre is able not only to disrupt some standard assumptions of film historiography but also to point toward less-known lines of continuity in Weimar film history....
