Siegfried Kracauer’s seminal study explores the collective psychological disposition of the German people during the Weimar Republic as reflected in their cinema. By analyzing the thematic and visual motifs of films from 1920 to 1933, the author argues that these works prefigured the rise of National Socialism and the eventual collapse of German democracy.
