A groundbreaking exploration of German expressionist cinema and technology.

A CULTURE OF LIGHT: Cinema and Technology in 1920s Germany
Frances Guerin

In Frances Guerin's history of German silent cinema of the 1920s, the use of
light is the pivot around which a new national cinema and culture emerges.
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.

³A Culture of Light is a truly original book that will compel scholars of
film studies to re-think the manner in which they approach the aesthetic and
thematic development of the cinema in the first half of the twentieth
century.² ‹Jack Zipes
