A propos de cet article

.convincing in its arguments, Baer's Dismantling the Dream Factory is a nicely structured work that offers a good mixture of historiography and close analysis. Baer effectively draws on contemporary press and advertising materials to highlight extradiegetic discourses surrounding the films, particularly to show how they made their appeals to female viewers. Baer's book is clearly and accessibly written, making it equally useful for teaching purposes and for more advanced scholars of German cinema. German Quarterly Baer has written an original critical view of German cinema after WWII.Unique to this study is Baer's attempt to ground her inquiry in gender theory.The result is a book that reopens the era by examining it from a fresh angle. Baer supports this important study with well-chosen stills.

Through the analysis of 10 representative films, Hester Baer reassesses this period, looking in particular at how the attempt to 'dismantle the dream factory' of Nazi entertainment cinema resulted in a new cinematic language which developed as a result of the changing audience demographic. In an era when female viewers comprised 70 per cent of cinema audiences a 'women's cinema' emerged, which sought to appeal to female spectators through its genres, star choices, stories and formal conventions. In addition to analyzing the formal language and narrative content of these films, Baer uses a wide array of other sources to reconstruct the original context of their reception, including promotional and publicity materials, film programs, censorship documents, reviews and spreads in fan magazines. This book presents.…
