Guerin's interpretations center on use of light in films such as Metropolis (1926) and Der Golem (1920) and we see how light is the substance of image composition, the narrative structuring device, and the thematic concern.Choice Outstanding Academic TitleMotion picturesGermanyHistory20th centuryCinematographyLightingGermanyHistory20th centuryMotion picturesHistoryCinematographyLightingHistory791.43094309042Guerin Frances1142032MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784107303321A culture of light3775965UNINA
