    From classical to contemporary narratives, this book redefines the expressionist aestheticOne of the most visually striking traditions in cinema, for too long Expressionism has been a neglected critical category of research in film history and aesthetics. The fifteen essays in this anthology remedies this by revisiting key German films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922), and also provides original critical research into more obscure titles like Nerven (1919) and The Phantom Carriage (1921), films that were produced in the silent and early sound era in countries ranging from France, Sweden and Hungary, to the United States and Mexico.An innovative and wide-ranging collection, Expressionism in the Cinema re-canonizes the classical Expressionist aesthetic, extending the critical and historical discussion beyond pre-existing scholarship into comparative and interdisciplinary areas of film research that reach across national boundaries.Contributors Steve Choe, University of IowaPaul Cuff, University of WarwickThomas Elsaesser, University of AmsterdamRobert Guffey, California State University-Long BeachGraeme Harper, Oakland University (Michigan)David J.
