A film character from this country and one of its leaders titles a 1947 book that links the “psychological history” of its movies to the unconscious motivations in its (15[1])politics. A director from this country (15[1])died shortly after moving to the U.S. and making Sunrise: A (15[1])Song of Two Humans. After three characters in a film from this country shake hands, an inter-title reads (*) “the mediator between head and hands must be the heart.” In a film from this country, a serial killer habitually bounces a ball and whispers the (10[1])tune of The Hall of the Mountain (10[1])King. During the 1920s, this country was the home of an Expressionist film movement that produced The Cabinet of Dr. (10[1])Caligari.
