description This title is the first ever book-length study of the cinematic representation of Paris in the films of German emigré filmmakers, who found there a first refuge from Hitler. In coming to Paris - the privileged site in terms of production, exhibition as well as the cinematic imaginary of French film culture - these experienced film professionals encountered also a darker side: hostility toward Germans, anti-Semitism, as well as boycotts from French industry personnel, afraid of losing their jobs to foreigners. The book juxtaposes the cinematic portrayal of Paris in the films of Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Max Ophüls, Anatol Litvak and others with the wider social and cultural debates about the city in the cinema.

In coming to Paris - the privileged site in terms of production, exhibition as well as the cinematic imaginary of French film culture - these experienced film professionals encountered also a darker side: hostility toward Germans, anti-Semitism, as well as boycotts from French industry personnel, afraid of losing their jobs to foreigners. The book juxtaposes the cinematic portrayal of Paris in the films of Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Max Ophüls, Anatol Litvak and others with the wider social and cultural debates about the city in the cinema. City of Darkness, City of Light is de eerste monografie over de representatie van Parijs in de films van uitgeweken Duitse filmmakers die tijdens Hitlers bewind hun toevlucht zochten in de 'Lichtstad'. Met hun komst naar Parijs - de plaats bij uitstek voor de productie, vertoning en de verbeelding van de Franse filmcultuur - leerden deze ervaren filmprofessionals ook de keerzijde van de stad kennen: een vijandige houding jegens Duitsers, anti-semitisme en boycots van Fransen die werkzaam waren in de filmindustrie en bang waren hun baan te verliezen aan de buitenlanders. City of Darkness, City of Light vergelijkt de cinematografische verbeelding van Parijs in de films van Robert Siodmak, Billy Wilder, Fritz Lang, Max Ophüls, Anatol Litvak en vele anderen met de bredere sociale en culturele debatten over de stad in de cinema. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2010-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:34:04Z 2003 book 340228 OCN: 1058173666 54479711 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35118 9789053566336 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/34517 eng Film Culture in Transition open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35118/1/340228.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35118/1/340228.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35118/1/340228.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35118/1/340228.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789053566336 10.5117/9789053566336 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 9789053566336 256 open access
