Reviews

[S]ubstantial and innovative . . . . [O]ffers a fresh and interesting approach to two film-making periods that have intrigued academics for decades. The volume exposes countless surprising links between Weimar and Nazi culture and society that cause us fundamentally to rethink our understanding of the period covered. MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW
