Kłys Tomasz, Fiancées and widows: women’s encounters with death in the silent films of Fritz Lang. “Images” vol. XXV, no. 34. Poznań 2019. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. Pp. 155–162. ISSN 1731-450X. DOI 10.14746/i.2019.34.10. In the silent Weimar films of Fritz Lang, the heroines have sudden encounters with Death, conceived both as an allegorical figure and as an unexpected violent end of the life of their fiancé, husband or loved one. The nameless Maiden, the main heroine of Der müde Tod (The Weary Death, known in English-language countries as Destiny, 1921), while looking for her fiancé, who was kidnapped by Death, tries three times to regain his life and finally, overcome by Death, commits suicide. Two queens of Burgundy in Die Nibelungen (The Nibelungs, 1924), Kriemhild and Brunhild, motivated by resentment and vengeance, as well as by unfulfilled love, finally appear to be zombie-like self-destructive monsters, destroying the social and political order, and the lives of many human beings. The paper, with the use of the psychoanalytic concepts of melancholy and the mourning “not-worked-out” by the persons who have lost their loved ones, analyses the ambiguous attitudes and self-destructive acts of these “women in black”..

Książka Andrzeja Dębskiego Nowoczesność, rozrywka, propaganda. Historia kina we Wrocławiu w latach 1919-1945 (2019) jest wieloaspektową analizą kultury filmowej we Wrocławiu w okresie międzywojennym i podczas II wojny światowej. Tom pierwszy koncentruje się na kinach, ich właścicielach i architekturze, podczas gdy w tomie drugim uwaga jest kierowana na badania repertuarów i widowni historycznej. Autor recenzji krytykuje wprawdzie kompozycję książki, ale z uznaniem odnosi się do szczegółowości przeprowadzonych analiz. W szczególności zastosowana przez Dębskiego metoda POPSTAT, wymyślona przez Johna Sedgwicka, okazała się owocna w ukazaniu podobieństw i różnic pomiędzy repertuarami Wrocławia oraz ogólnoniemieckimi wynikami box-office'u.

In his book Nowoczesność, rozrywka, propaganda. Historia kina we Wrocławiu w latach 1919-1945 [Modernity, Entertainment, Propaganda: History of Cinema in Wrocław in the Years 1919-1945] (2019), Andrzej Dębski offers a multi-layered analysis of cinema culture in Breslau in the interwar period and during World War II. Volume I of the monograph focuses on movie theatres – their architecture and owners, whereas in Volume II the attention shifts to cinema programming and film audiences. While the reviewer is critical of the structure of Dębski’s book, he appreciates the meticulousness of research. In particular, Dębski’s use of John Sedgwick’s POPSTAT method proved to be fruitful in demonstrating the similarities and differences between the programming in Breslau’s cinemas and nationwide box-office results in the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich.
