"In Summer of Fire and Blood, the first history of the German Peasants’ War in a generation, historian Lyndal Roper exposes the far-reaching ramifications of this rebellion. Though the war’s victors portrayed the uprising as naive and inchoate, Roper reveals a mass movement that sought to make good on the radical potential of the Protestant Reformation."

Yakov Protazanov's L'ANGOISSANTE AVENTURE (staring, among others, the exquisite Ivan Mosjoukine), is the first production by Russian émigrés in France, made while they were fleeing the Russian Revolution.

"Lukács interestingly documents the extent to which some Nazis even acknowledged the absurdity of their own doctrines, cynically admitting its use as an ideological justification for imperialism on a vast scale. What mattered was less the “truth” of the Nazi race doctrine and more its capacity to “elevate” the German people."

"Color is language; color elicits emotions, memories, and sensations that bring to life the emotional landscape of the cinematic experience. Delicate film frames emulate tiny stained glass windows, and when projected, their iridescent illuminations bathe the cinematic experience in an exquisite display of vivid possibilities."
