承接預示極權崛起的《從卡里加利到希特拉》（39 屆）， 舒士蘭繼續鉤沉，打開德國電影史禁忌一章。除了常被後世提及的經典宣傳片《意志的勝利》（1935） 與 《奧林匹亞》（1938）、激起反猶情緒的《猶太人蘇斯》 （1940），納粹從掌權到倒台，共製作了過千部電影，儼然要與荷里活分庭抗禮，建立起自家夢工場的明星制度， 透過影像煽動人心。舒士蘭認真檢視非常時期的非常電影，從出走美國前的英格烈褒曼數到德國版《鐵達尼號》，拆解潛藏的思想控制，以及極權下的集體潛意識。

"Metropolis", "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", M, "Nosferatu", "People on Sunday", "Berlin, Symphony of a Metropolis" all rank among the classics and most influential films of European Cinema. FROM CALIGARI TO HITLER tells the story of early German Cinema as the story of social and cultural upheaval in the first republic, between 1918 and 1933. Siegfried Kracauer, who wrote the groundbreaking book "From Caligari to Hitler" on this "Weimar Cinema", is a central figure, as is Fritz Lang, the most versatile of all Weimar directors. The viewer will encounter the cast members of the young Republic's stage: Marlene Dietrich, Louise Brooks, Emil Jannings, directors such as G.W.Pabst and F.W. Murnau, writers like Billy Wilder and many more - those who helped shape the new art of cinema. Written by Rüdiger Suchsland
