Description

Hermann Kappelhoff here casts the evolution of cinema as an ongoing struggle to relate audiences to their historical moment. Appreciating cinema's unique ability to bind concrete living conditions to individual experience (which, he argues, existing political institutions cannot), he reads films by Sergei Eisenstein and Pedro Almodóvar, among others, to demonstrate how cinema situates spectators within society.
