Book Synopsis
Taking an unorthodox look at Nazi cinema, this book examines Nazi films as movies that contain propaganda rather than as propaganda vehicles that happen to be movies. It also observes that Nazi films, with their valorization of bourgeois culture and use of familiar narrative models, display an affinity with the world of Enlightenment culture.

Trade Review
“Entertaining the Third Reich not only surpasses the well-known analyses of the Nazi cinema and its predecessors, but also sets new standards in the domain of the analysis of ideological mechanisms at work in cultural products.”—Slavoj Zizek
“Entertaining the Third Reich offers a trenchant approach to Nazi cinema and, in reading the complexities of this specific cinema, it puts a number of important theoretical concepts to the test. Providing new and exciting insights, Schulte-Sasse goes beyond the known clichés about many of these films and offers new takes on the theory.”—Dana Polan
