Its intriguing format and unique range of topics will also appeal to film studies scholars. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' -- CHOICE 'This volume brings together established and emerging scholars of German-language cinema to present an illuminating overview of the Berlin School as German-language cinema's new New Wave. The essays that make up this glossary echo in their suggestive eloquence the Berlin School's aesthetics of the tentative, the quietly observational, and the concrete everyday. An essential read for all those interested in German-language film's contribution to world cinema today. ' -- Erica Carter, Professor of German and Film, King's College London 'The strength of this volume's structure is its flexibility and openness. The irreverence of its methodology is very welcome because it mirrors the impulses of the Berlin School itself. Cineastes should love this book.' -- John Davidson, author of Deterritorializing the New German Cinema This noteworthy volume introduces readers to the contemporary German art film movement known as the Berlin School via 33 brief essays on places, themes, and formal tropes that distinguish the movement's films. With entries on cars, pools, hotels, bad sex, and ambient sounds, among other subjects, the glossary format mirrors the films' commitment to involving viewers in an 'aesthetic of discovery.' The result is a readable, engaging collection of thought-provoking pieces by noted scholars, interspersed with numerous illustrations from the films. . . . Its intriguing format and unique range of topics will also appeal to film studies scholars. . . . Highly recommended. --CHOICE Berlin School Glossary succeeds very well. Although anyone who has studied the Berlin School films in any depth may not be surprised by some of the observations on long takes, endings, boredom, and so on, these will certainly be enlightening to the cinephile or any student new to the topic; and there is enough quirkiness here, with entries on pools, Dorfdiskos, hotels, forests, and the near ubiquitous Berlin School actor Devid Striesow, to keep the interest of anyone with more substantial prior knowledge. --Monatshefte Berlin School Glossary is a remarkable achievement for how the volume manages to create a conversation among Berlin School films, directors, and film scholars--one that invites others to continue the conversation. --Cinaeste Author InformationRoger F.
