Críticas:
A sprawling bilingual German/English language attempt to come to terms with the film writer whose work was one primarily of exile - from Graz to Vienna, Berlin, Prague and London. (Robert von Dassanowsky, University of Colorado) --Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television
The Austrian scriptwriter Carl Mayer (1894-1944) is one of the most important personalities of film history, his name being connected with films such as DAS CABINET DES DR. CALIGARI (1920), DER LETZTE MANN (1924), SUNRISE (1927), or BERLIN, DIE SINFONIE DER GROSSSTADT (1927). This wonderful new, big, and richly illustrated book re-examines Mayer's life and work and presents the latest research, full of detailed analyses and surprising new results, including, for instance, the uncovering of new handwritings which could lead to an answer to some of film history's open questions.
