Inhaltsangabe

GW Pabst entered film history as a luminary of Weimar cinema, an astute observer of social struggle and psychic process, the espouser of a progressive and engaged film art. He gained international renown as the director of "The Joyless Street", "Pandora's Box", "Westfront 1918" and "Kamaradschaft". After 1933, the once-revered auteur would become a voice incessantly modified and modulated by socio-political forces more sovereign than his best intentions, experiencing exile, emigration, a sojourn in Hollywood, a fateful return to Germany and an unsuccessful post-war attempt to regain a once considerable reputation. This collection of essays presents the first truly comprehensive image of a problematic film-maker whose life and oeuvre reflect both the turbulent character of recent German history as well as the fate of artistic producers in the transcultural machinery of the modern world.
