Beskrivning
ReFocus: The Historical Films of Ernst Lubitsch responds to and reframes the films of German émigré director Ernst Lubitsch as film-philosophical exemplars of both early world cinema and historical cinema, from his silent era costume dramas to his post-war Hollywood romances. This edited collection examines recent Lubitsch scholarship within the context of transcultural and transhistorical film theory to provide a critical retrospective of Lubitsch’s costume films, historical epics, and marriage comedies across his three illustrious decades of international success.

Recensioner i media

Like adjusting the lens on a projector, this volume brings Lubitsch’s films into sharper focus, revealing new dimensions. The authors convincingly refocus our vision of Lubitsch’s humanizing touch with fresh insights and diverse approaches that illuminate the global impact of his style and demonstrate why his historical films continue to reward close analysis long after their initial flicker.
