Dismantling the Dream Factory: Gender, German Cinema, and the Postwar Quest for a New Film Language (Film Europa Book 9)

Hester Baer

4.9/5 (26592 ratings)

Description:The history of postwar German cinema has most often been told as a story of failure, a failure paradoxically epitomized by the remarkable popularity of film throughout the late 1940s and 1950s. Through the analysis of 10 representative films, Hester Baer reassesses this period, looking in particular at how the attempt to "dismantle the dream factory" of Nazi entertainment cinema resulted in a new cinematic language which developed as a result of the changing audience demographic. In an era when female viewers comprised 70 percent of cinema audiences a "women's cinema" emerged, which sought to appeal to female spectators through its genres, star choices, stories, and formal conventions. In addition to analyzing the formal language and narrative content of these films, Baer uses a wide array of other sources to reconstruct the original context of their reception, including promotional and publicity materials, film programs, censorship documents, reviews, and spreads in fan magazines.This is a fascinating, impeccably researched and penetrating analysis of an essential period which saw the rebirth of German cinema after its thorough delegitimization under the Nazi regime.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
