LEBEN DER ANDEREN, DAS (GE, Florian Henckel Von Donnersarck, 2006) ; LEBEN DER ANDEREN, DAS (GE, Florian Henckel Von Donnersarck, 2006) Summary: "Fisher and Prager have assembled a significant group of essays by the emerging generation of German cinema experts in the U.S. The anthology is the first serious attempt to retell the history of the New German Cinema and the 'consensus' cinema of the 1900s through the lens of contemporary, post-2000 films in all their diversity. Film scholars, students of the German cinema, and the general reading public will discover here why 'Deutsches Kino' is once again in the limelight.
