DESCRIPTION:Since the fall of the Berlin Wall\, peculiar events have trans
 pired in German films. Left-wing terrorist Andreas Baader has been resurre
 cted as a rock star. Communist East Germany has been preserved for one wom
 an in a 79m² apartment. The 1954 soccer World Cup victory has been interp
 reted as an innocent rebirth of a nation. Hitler has cried. \n\nThese pres
 tige productions have scored at box offices both at home and abroad\, wher
 e they count among the most popular German films of all time. Suddenly\, h
 owever\, we are a universe away from how we once understood as the country
 ’s cinematic take on history: the radical style\, content and politics o
 f the New German Cinema. This talk theorises the new historiography of uni
 ted Germany's Cinema of Retrospection.
