About the Book

The first book to consider New German Cinema in the context of postcolonialism. Between 1961 and 1989, the years of the building and dismantling of the Berlin Wall, the New German Cinema came into being, the product of the diverse efforts of West German politicians, West German filmmakers, and foreign-chiefly American-film enthusiasts. This book takes the story of the New German Cinema beyond its strictly German context to show its relation to the international constellations of the Cold War and postcolonial politics. After a reevaluation of the political and aesthetic atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, John E. Davidson looks at the ways in which conceptions of "the German" are deployed in important works through the two generations that followed. By analyzing key tropes in successful films, as well as in the receptions they received abroad, he takes us past the boundaries of what have been considered the appropriate or even essential concerns of German film. His book is the first to examine the legitimization function of German national cinema not just in relation to the German history associated with World War II and the Holocaust, but also within the shifting configuration of neocolonialism. Here we see how the struggle for colonial independence necessitated a reconsolidation of the imaginary community of "the West," and how the creation of a new German national cinema served this purpose. Davidson uncovers new material regarding the German government's debates about film as a means of solidifying the country's position among the Western powers in neocolonial competition. This in turn leads to a reconsideration of the role of the "German" in that relegitimation, particularly in relation to the "critical intellectual." Davidson then grounds these insights in extensive analyses of key films of the New German Cinema in light of the receptions they received-from Wim Wenders's Paris, Texas to Percy Adlon's Out of Rosenheim and Ulrike Ottinger's Johanna D'Arc of Mongolia.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
