After making a flurry of short films in a climate of feverish artistic experimentation and political upheaval, Schroeter soon gained recognition for \u003ci\u003eEika Katappa\u003c\/i\u003e (1969) and \u003ci\u003eThe Death of Maria Malibran\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), early mature works showcasing avant-garde performance as iconoclastic expression of rebellion and pathos. Following a decade of uncompromising experimental work, his deeply humanist features \u003ci\u003eIl Regno di Napoli\u003c\/i\u003e (1979) and \u003ci\u003ePalermo or Wolfsburg\u003c\/i\u003e (1980) brought him broader success. Yet Schroeter maintained his reputation as an enfant terrible of the German cultural scene with controversial stagings of operas and plays and with smartly observed documentaries on art, film, and politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume traces Schroeter's career as a filmmaker from early and rarely discussed works such as \u003ci\u003eSalome \u003c\/i\u003e(1971) and \u003ci\u003eWillow Springs\u003c\/i\u003e (1973) to his late 1970s breakout hits and later complex and mature art-house productions such as \u003ci\u003eThe Rose King\u003c\/i\u003e (1986), \u003ci\u003eMalina \u003c\/i\u003e(1991), and \u003ci\u003eNuit de Chien\u003c\/i\u003e (2008). The volume is supplemented by Schroeter's own writings and conversations and includes an interview with his long-time collaborator Elfi Mikesch as well as an authoritative and completely updated filmography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11486681\"\u003eRoy Grundmann\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austrian Film Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 6.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783901644740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3901644741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PER\"\u003ePerforming Arts\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PER004030\"\u003eFilm | History \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoy Grundmann is associate professor of film studies at Boston University.
