In this pathfinding study, Susan Linville challenges the accepted wisdom of these books by focusing on a cultural realm in which mourning for the Nazi past and opposing the patriarchal and authoritarian nature of postwar German culture are central concerns—namely, women's feminist auto/biographical films of the 1970s and 1980s. After a broad survey of feminist theory, Linville analyzes five important films that reflect back on the Third Reich through the experiences of women of different ages—Marianne Rosenbaum's Peppermint Peace, Helma Sanders-Brahms's Germany, Pale Mother, Jutta Brückner's Hunger Years, Margarethe von Trotta's Marianne and Juliane, and Jeanine Meerapfel's Malou. By juxtaposing these films with the accepted theories on German culture, Linville offers a fresh appraisal not only of the films' importance but especially of their challenge to misogynist interpretations of the German failure to grieve for the horrors of its Nazi past.PERFORMING ARTSbisacFilm & Video / GeneralbisacMotion picturesHistoryGermanyWomen in motion picturesPsychological aspectsGermanyWomen motion picture producers and directorsGermanyMotion picturesGuiltMusic, Dance, Drama & FilmHILCCFilmHILCCPERFORMING ARTSFilm & Video / GeneralMotion picturesHistoryWomen in motion picturesPsychological aspectsWomen motion picture producers and directorsMotion picturesGuiltMusic, Dance, Drama & FilmFilm791.43/0943Linville Susan E1037486PQKBBOOK9910450115203321Feminism, Film, Fascism : Women's Autobiographical Film in Postwar Germany2458502UNINA
