Von Caligari zu Hitler: Das Deutsche Kino im Zeitalter der Massen plot
"What does Cinema know, that we don't?"
After the end of the First World War in 1918, the era of the Weimar Republic followed in Germany. It was, as this essayistic documentary tells, an exciting period in which the young, artistic medium of film went through revolutionary developments. German cinema flourished as never before. Filmmakers such as Fritz Lang, Robert Wiene, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau and Walter Ruttmann made innovative films that would have a major influence on film history. From Caligari to Hitler, named after an essay by film critic Siegfried Kracauer, emphatically places these developments in the context of a society that was in a turbulent phase: navigating past the euphoria of the roaring twenties via the deepest of all economic crises to the rise of Nazi Germany. -Germany.
