Amazon.com

In 1919, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" took the world by storm, at once demonstrating that the cinema was capable of unprecedented sophistication and popularizing the horror movie. Eisner's classic study covers the history of "Caligari" and the genre it inspired: the German Expressionist Film. Covering the breadth of German Expressionism, Eisner introduces and analyzes some of the greatest films of all time, including "Nosferatu," "The Last Laugh" and "Metropolis," while describing the careers of the magnificent directors who worked within the genre: G.W. Pabst, F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang.

Kurzbeschreibung

The Golden Age of German cinema began at the end of the First World War and ended shortly after the coming of sound. From "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" onwards the principal films of this period were characterized by two influences: literary Expressionism, and the innovations of the theater directors of this period, in particular Max Reinhardt. This book demonstrates the connection between German Romanticism and the cinema through Expressionist writings. It discusses the influence of the theater: the handling of crowds; the use of different levels, and of selective lighting on a predominately dark stage; the reliance on formalized gesture; the innovation of the intimate theater. Against this background, the principal films of the period are examined in detail.The author explains the key critical concepts of the time, and surveys not only the work of the great directors, such as Fritz Lang and F. W. Murnau, but also the contribution of their writers, cameramen, and designers. As "The Times Literary Supplement" wrote, 'Mme. Eisner is first and foremost a film critic, and one of the best in the world. She has all the necessary gifts.' And it described the original French edition of this book as 'one of the very few classics of writing on the film and arguably the best book on the cinema yet written.'

Hmmm... 10. Mai 2008
Von Review Lover - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
As a resource for all things German-Expressionistic, this is a fairly good bet: a shame that it's just so dull to read.

I wonder if this is a language issue, if the original French text contained traces of Eisner's personality, which since have been lost to an unimaginative translation?

Whatever the case, this isn't a book I recommend you read for the pleasure of discovery: Kracauer's "Caligari to Hitler" is more enjoyable and just as informative as this one, but Eisner's "The Haunted Screen" is an excellent fact-checking tome. Po-faced and all as it is, "The Haunted Screen" is an expansive, exhaustive, brilliantly-illustrated journey through a most important period in the history of Cinema - Eisner not only discusses the films and their relatives, but also the historical and technical details of the genesis of German Expressionism, with a clarity and a lucidity that still shine fifty-six years after its original publication.

It's like eating museli for breakfast: if you can put up with the arid, dull chewing you'll definitely feel the benefits: just know that you'll be wishing for bacon and pancakes before too long.

White and dark: the spirit of german cinema 3. August 2000
Von "alsuppia" - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
In this work, Lotte Eisner makes an inteligent analysis about the influences of the expressionism and german theather in the german cinema. It's important to know that expressionism have been confused, not rarely, with other kind of ideological and esthetical sources of influence. And about this confusion, this book brings a good help. The authorress identifies and points what is expressionism and what is not, where are the traces of the expressionism, of the german theather or of whatever. And besides, Lotte Eisner makes an interesting and complete review of the most important german films, for example Caligari, Nosferatu and Metropolis, also speaking a little about other films related to Germany, yet made in other countries. Since the authoress was one of the most important movie critics of Germany, and also a wickness of the birth of german cinema after the First World War, her statements or reviews are solid and plenty of good reveals.
