"". . . an informative and readable book that takes a bead on a still-evolving subject. It provides useful background information not readily available in English and should be required reading for anyone interested in cinema in Germany since 1989."" ---Monatshefte --Stefan Soldovieri, Univ of Toronto ""Monatshefte"" (6/6/2005 12:00:00 AM) ""Naughton deftly sketches the nearly 50-year history of DEFA, the principal film studio in the ""other Germany,"" and provides interesting poll data and exhibition statistics as background for her more ranging investigation of the role cinema and television played in East German culture."" ---S. Liebman, CUNY Graduate Center, Choice, January 2003 --S. Liebman, CUNY Graduate Center ""Choice"" (1/29/2003 12:00:00 AM) ""Naughton's book is not only an important contribution to understanding developments in western and eastern films, but also gives perceptive insights into the wrenching upheavals East Germans encountered after unification."" ---German Studies Review --Jennifer E. Michaels, Grinnell College ""German Studies Review"" (6/11/2004 12:00:00 AM) ""With impeccable scholarship, intrepid dedication and an Australian sympathy for the underdog, Naughton charts a story almost as uniformly down-beat and relentlessly depressing as so many of the films she discusses in such loving detail."" ---Thomas Elslaesser, University of Amsterdam, Screening the Past (maintained by Editor) (Web), July 27, 2003 --Thomas Elslaesser, University of Amsterdam ""Screening the Past (maintained by Editor) (Web)"" (10/2/2003 12:00:00 AM)
