title = "Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau: CITY GIRL",
abstract = "This small monograph on Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's beautiful film {"}City Girl{"} (1930)—written in German—is the first in-depth study of the last Hollywood movie of the German silent-era director. I show that the film has been unduly neglected by film critics and scholars alike and that {"}City Girl{"} is deeply interwoven with public debates of the late 1920s and 30s such as the financial hardships at the onset of the Great Depression, the rejection of city life and a yearning for the countryside, the role of women in the aftermath of the world economic crisis and the polemics against the American farmer. It is a film that still resonates in our times.",
