Trade Review
"Discourse about the cinema is . . . its third machine: after the one that manufactures the film, and the one that consumes them, the one that vaunts them, that valorizes the product."—Christian Metz
"Smart and superbly researched."—Choice
"A major contribution to the fields of film and German studies. There is, in fact, no other study either in English or in German that addresses such a wide variety of discourses on cinema in Imperial and Weimar Germany, and no other study that attempts a broad historical analysis with such critical and theoretical acuity."—Patrice Petro, University of Wisconsin-Madison
