Description de l'ouvrage:
Rediscovering a momentous cinema movement, its canonization, and its recasting through global discourse.

The last of the so-called new waves in film, New German Cinema of the 1970s and early 1980s represents much more than a national phenomenon; it impacted and was influenced by films from around the world. Filmmakers such as the famous troika of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, and Wim Wenders, as well as directors, such as Margarethe von Trotta, Helma Sanders-Brahms, and Helke Sander, and Volker Schlöndorff received much critical acclaim both in Germany and abroad. These directors, their films, and their often-infamous reputations constitute one of the most intriguing and consequential legacies of European cinema and world culture. In this groundbreaking view of New German Cinema through a global lens, editors Marco Abel and Jaimey Fisher approach these celebrated years of German art film from diverse and innovative perspectives. Contributors explore these films' transnational circuits of production, distribution, and exhibition, as well as how the films were made and received, thereby inviting us to reexamine the roots of what New German Cinema was and imagine what it might yet become.

Revue de Presse:
The New German Cinema of the 1970s and early 1980s has often been perceived as nationally introspective, primarily concerned with the legacies of the country's recent past. This excellent compilation of original and illuminating essays revises and expands this perception and productively locates the New German Cinema in its international and transnational contexts, highlighting in the process some often neglected filmmakers and films."
-Tim Bergfelder, University of Southampton

Critically reimagining the historical framework and thematic possibilities of New German Cinema to include less conventional filmmakers, films, topics, forms, and global influences, the stunning collection of essays that spans New German Cinema and Its Global Contexts presents an illuminating return to one of Europe's most important film movements.
