The Past's Threshold

There can be no doubt, however, that in Kracauer’s texts published at the turn of the 1920s and the 1930s from his position as an editor of the cultural pages at the daily newspaper Frankfurter ­Zeitung, then in the 1950s during his American period, he sketches out a theorisation of photography that can be described as groundbreaking.

Umas Gesicht – Thurmans Stimme

Als die gerade 18-jährige Uma Thurman 1989 in Terry Gilliams The Adventures of Baron Munchausen als makellos schöne Filmvenus der Muschel entstieg, war nicht unbedingt abzusehen, wie ausdauernd sie ihr Gesicht hinhalten würde für ein System, das mit Hollywood, Miramax, Weinstein und Co. sicher nicht ausreichend bezeichnet ist.

Terrorism has been historically more successful when it was not...
