Rezensionen

"Sebastian Heiduschke has produced a fine introduction to the cinema of East Germany that is aimed at a general, English-speaking student audience without previous exposure to the films of this now-defunct socialist country." (Stefan Soldovieri, Monatshefte, Vol. 108 (3), 2016)

"Heiduschke's East German Cinema is a great resource for anyone interested in the history of post-World War II Germany and its profound and lasting effect on the state of both German and international cinema today. For the individual films themselves, this book essentially serves as a starter's guide to east German films, selecting only a handful of the hundreds of films produced by DEFA." (Stephen Belden, Film Matters, Vol. 6, 2015)
