Description for Cinema Stories
Paperback. Num Pages: 96 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: APFB; BGFA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 176 x 129 x 9. Weight in Grams: 132.
Each of the thirty-nine tales of Alexander Kluge's Cinema Stories combines fact and fiction, and they revolve around movie-making. The book compresses a lifetime of feeling, thought, and practice: Kluge—considered the father of New German Cinema—is an inventive wellspring of narrative notions. "The power of his pros," as Small Press noted, "exudes the sort of pregnant richness one might find in the brief scenarios of unknown films." Cinema Stories is a treasure trove of strikingly original writing and cinematic lore.

Reviews for Cinema Stories
"A bold, galvanizing hybrid of fiction, interview, film theory, German history, scientific inquiry, and his cosmology of cinema."
KGB Bar Book Review "Alexander Kluge is a gigantic figure in the German cultural landscape. He exemplifies—along with Pasolini—what is most vigorous and original in the European idea of the artist as intellectual, the intellectual as artist....Essential, brilliant."
