The Counter-Cinema of the Berlin School

The group of contemporary German directors collectively known as the ""Berlin School"" constitutes the most significant filmmaking movement to come out of Germany since the 1970s New German Cinema, not least because its films mark the emergence of a new film language in German cinema. This volume is the first book-length study in any language of the Berlin School. Its central thesis -- that the movement should be regarded as a ""counter-cinema""--Is built around the unique style of realism employed in the films of this movement.
