Elective affinities and family resemblances: for Margarethe von Trotta. 330 $aThe Gorgon's Gaze is an interdisciplinary study of recurrent themes in German cinema as it has developed since the early twentieth century. Focusing on pertinent films of the pre- and post-World War II eras, Paul Coates explores the nature of expressionism, which is generally agreed to have ended with the advent of sound cinema, and its persistence in the styles of such modern masters of Film noir as Orson Welles and Ingmar Bergman. In considering the possibility of homologies between the necessary silence of pre-sound cinema and the widespread modernist aspiration to an aesthetic of silence, Coates relates theories of the sublime, the uncanny, and the monstrous to his subject. He also reflects upon problems of representability and the morality of representation of events that took place during the Nazi era. 410 0$aCambridge studies in film. 606 $aMotion pictures$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aExpressionism 606 $aMonsters in motion pictures 606 $aFilm noir$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aExpressionism. 615 0$aMonsters in motion pictures. 615 0$aFilm noir$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43/0943 700 $aCoates$b Paul$f1953-$0465320 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248128603316 996 $aThe Gorgon's gaze$92345757 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
