520    Eric Rentschler explores the screen fantasies and 
       spectacles that derive from Germany's fraught modern 
       experience and follows the traces of these sights and 
       sounds to the postmillenial present. Each chapters 
       contains a stirring minidrama, discussing prominent 
       critics and theorists such as Siegfried Kracauer and 
       Rudolf Arnheim; key New German directors such as Rainer 
       Werner Fassbinder and Alexander Kluge; films from the so-
       called Berlin School, particularly those of Christoph 
       Hochhäusler, Thomas Arslan, and Christian Petzold; and 
       seminal genres such as the mountain film, the early sound 
       musical.
