Bøker av Samm Deighan

World War II irrevocably shaped culture - and much of cinema - in the 20th century, thanks to its devastating, global impact that changed the way we think about and portray war. This book focuses on European films made about the war between 1945 and 1985 in countries that were occupied or invaded by the Nazis.

Fritz Lang's M (1931), is one of the earliest serial killer films and laid the foundation for future horror movies and thrillers. Samm Deighan explores the way Lang uses horror and thriller tropes, particularly in terms of how M functions as a bridge between German Expressionism and Hollywood's growing fixation on sympathetic killers in the 40s.
