Split in two and occupied by the victorious Allies, it would have to be rebuilt, literally, from the rubble of its own defeat. Volumes of books have been published chronicling its structural and economic rebirth; this unique study reveals how Germany rebuilt itself culturally.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRubble Films\u003c\/i\u003e is a close look at German cinema in the immediate postwar era, and a careful examination of its relationship to Allied occupation. Shandley reveals how German film borrowed -- both literally and figuratively -- from its Nazi past, and how the occupied powers (specifically the US) used its position as victor to open Europe to Hollywood movie products and aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Incorporating a careful reading  of several important postwar films, Shandley also discusses how the German studio system operated immediately after the war, in the east and the west, giving special focus on DEFA, the east German studio that rose during Soviet occupation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pathbreaking in its research, \u003ci\u003eRubble Films\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on a significant moment of German cultural rebirth, and  adds a new dimension to the study of the history of film.","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183889662192,"sku":"9781592138067","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781592138067_p0.jpg?v=1763812063","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781592138067","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
