Exploring the evolution of Christian Petzold's filmmaking over 25 years, this collection features thirty-five interviews that reveal his intellectual approach to cinema. Petzold examines the challenges of genre filmmaking in postunification Germany, often referencing classic films while resisting easy viewer identification. The interviews, thirty of which are published in English for the first time, emphasize his focus on the interplay between economic conditions and personal narratives. This volume serves as a valuable resource for those interested in contemporary German cinema and theoretical film discourse.
