It's worth it for the still pictures alone.

The Classic Film Scripts series or screenplay series is necessary for any serious videophile. These books separate the video into its essential constituencies and allow one to understand what the subliminal shots should portray. Even the background sounds are described. Contents: A note on this edition Metropolis: the film and the book by Paul M. Jensen Industrialism and totalitarianism, by Siegfried Kracauer Credits and cast "Metropolis" The section on Film and books gives some insight into the UFA studios and their way of thinking. Siegfried Kracauer also authored the book "From Caligari to H-i-t-l-e-r." Read my review (ISBN: 0691025053) "A Psychological History of the German Film, December 17, 2001." More than just a reference, you will become intrigued as you read. This book is worth it for the still pictures alone.
