New German Cinema

A brief glimpse into the world of New German Cinema: a groundbreaking film movement that revolutionized German cinema.

New German Cinema

Der Neue Deutsche Film war eine wichtige Filmbewegung in Deutschland in den 1960er bis 1980er Jahren. Diese Bewegung entstand aus dem Wunsch heraus, das deutsche Kino neu zu definieren und sich von den alten, traditionsreichen Filmen abzugrenzen.

Ein wichtiger Aspekt des Neuen Deutschen Films war die Verwendung von realistischen Settings und die Darstellung des täglichen Lebens der Menschen. Die Filme thematisierten oft soziale und politische Themen und versuchten, das Bewusstsein für diese Themen zu erhöhen.

Einige der bekanntesten Regisseure des Neuen Deutschen Films waren Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog und Wim Wenders. Sie schufen Filme wie "Die Ehe der Maria Braun", "Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes" und "Paris, Texas".

Der Neue Deutsche Film war ein wichtiger Schritt in der Geschichte des deutschen Kinos und hat viele neue Talente hervorgebracht. Die Bewegung hatte einen großen Einfluss auf das deutsche Kino und hat es zu einem wichtigen Teil der Filmindustrie gemacht.

Learning Guide
  • Listen first. Play the audio and see how much you can understand - the main ideas, and familiar words and phrases.
  • Read with curiosity. Read through the text slowly. When a word is unfamiliar, guess the meaning first, before clicking the word to check the English.
  • Check your understanding. Take the comprehension quiz and test your understanding.
  • Lock in the vocabulary. Use the flashcards to recall useful, key words - say the answer out loud before you flip.
  • Mirror (optional). Play the audio again and read the text aloud, matching the speaker’s articulation as closely as possible.
