The essays in Brill and Rhodes Expressionism in the Cinema not only extend the scholarship on Expressionist films, though that, in itself, would be ample contribution. They also capture the essence-the imagery, the irony, the worldview-that animates these films, and create thoughtful connections to wider social and cultural processes. -- Cynthia Miller, Emerson College

It is diverse. It is polytechnic. It ranges from the purely Expressionistic production to the margins of Expressionistic influence. It combines fine critical insights with imaginative intellectual linkages. In this manner, the authors do in fact achieve an authoritative appraisal of Expressionist cinema, both within and without Germany."" -- Andrew Thomas Croft, Forest Independent Primary Collegiate, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television"
