A landmark, now classic, study of the rich cinematic history of the Weimar Republic, 'From Caligari to Hitler' was first published by Princeton University Press in 1947. Siegfried Kracauer--a prominent German film critic and member of Walter Benjamin's and Theodor Adorno's intellectual circle--broke new ground in exploring the connections between film aesthetics, the prevailing psychological state of Germans in the Weimar era, and the evolving social and political reality of the time. Kracauer's pioneering book, which examines German history from 1921 to 1933 in light of such movies as 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, M, Metropolis', and 'The Blue Angel', has never gone out of print. Now, over half a century after its first appearance, this beautifully designed and entirely new edition reintroduces Kracauer for the twenty-first century. Film scholar Leonardo Quaresima places Kracauer in context in a critical introduction, and updates the book further with a new bibliography, index, and list of inaccuracies that crept into the first edition. This volume is a must-have for the film historian, film theorist, or cinema enthusiast.

"Based on exhaustive research in German archives, Nazi Cinema as Enchantment examines, in addition to the films themselves, articles from the propaganda ministry's official organ, Der deutsche Film, daily trade sheets such as Licht-Bild-Buhne and Film Kurier, fan magazines such as Filmwelt and Filmwoche, and even studio press packages for individual stars and films. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach that grants equal attention to textual analysis, historical context, and the role cultural products play in promoting ideology."--Jacket.
