European history and politics

From Marlene Dietrich to The Good German , Gary McMahon tells the story of Berlin on screen. Lawrence Novotny looks at the blaxploitation horror movie Blacula , a metaphoric tale of slavery and the African American experience. Steve Jankowiak examines how recent remakes of subversive cult classics such as Rollerball and Dawn of the Dead tend to become politically correct caricatures in this era of media conglomeration. Joerg Sternagel has taken a long hard look at acting on screen. This and much more in our next issue!
