"Tim Bergfelder has written an excellent and in many aspects exemplary book, which leaves, also without daring theses, a lasting impression. Bergfelder invites the reader to reflect on film-historical categories and methods and to re-examine a subject that turns out not to be all that familiar."  ·  Filmblatt“Drawing a picture of the German cinema of the 1960s as a blatantly commercial and truly internationally minded culture industry, Bergfelder’s elegantly written and convincingly argued book not only provides an overdue counterweight to the conventionally narrow focus on the Young or ‘New German Cinema’ as one of the best-known pedigrees of European art cinema to emerge in the 1960s… a book that cannot be praised enough for opening up entirely new horizons in the study of German and European cinema.”  ·  Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television"…the entire book is original, provocative, and informative, and Bergfelder’s argument is powerful."  ·  Choice
