"An exciting collection of analyses about one of the most impressive political films of our times. Scholars, journalists, human rights activists and public intellectuals explore The Lives of the Others as a most persuasive and disquieting way to grasp the invisible means securing the totalitarian domination over the individual. I have presented the film to my students in courses on dictatorship and film. This outstanding book will be a perfect companion each time I teach this course again."―Vladimir Tismaneanu, author The Devil in History: Communism, Fascism, and Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century
"Totalitarianism on Screen explores the richness of The Lives of Others in brilliant fashion. Carl Scott and Flagg Taylor have set a new standard for English-language scholarship on one of the most influential German films in the post-war era."―Gary Bruce, author of The Firm: The Inside Story of the Stasi
"The essays assembled in Totalitarianism on Screen deftly explore the strange world of post-totalitarianism, the world of drabness, conformity, surveillance and mendacity that marked the final decades of communist totalitarian rule. They expose communist moral corruption even as they reveal the 'redemptive power of art' through learned, searching, and accessible treatments of the now classic film The Lives of Others. This is scholarship that speaks to the human soul and to the ultimate limits of all efforts to squelch liberty and the spontaneity of human life."―Daniel J. Mahoney, Augustine Chair in Distinguished Scholarship, Assumption College
