WL 3334 - Twentieth Century German History through Film

Credits: 3

Explores the aesthetic representation in film of the major historical events in Germany during the twentieth century. Selected critically acclaimed films depict the Wilhelmine era, the First World War, the Weimar Republic, National Socialism, and divided Germany.

Short readings in history and film criticism will support contextual understanding.
