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 Title 606 $aMotion pictures$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCinematography$xLighting$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aCinematography$xLighting$xHistory 676 $a791.43094309042 700 $aGuerin$b Frances$01142032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814339903321 996 $aA culture of light$94126035 997 $aUNINA
