Question

The influence of avant-garde theater on this country’s films is analyzed in the book The Haunted Screen. 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 politics. A director from this country died shortly after moving to the U.S. and making Sunrise: A 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 (10[1])ball and (10[1])whispers the tune of The Hall of the Mountain King. During the 1920s, this country was the home of an Expressionist film movement that produced The Cabinet of Dr. (10[1])Caligari. For 10 points, name this country where Fritz Lang made movies like M and Metropolis. ■END■
