Movies of the 20s and Early Cinema - Reviews
„Although the Twenties are in our recent past, the silent era now seems of another age, so it’s thanks to TASCHEN’s latest decade overview for reminding us what a brilliant era of film-making this was. Following a history of the origins of cinema, the book covers such landmarks as The Kid, Nosferatu and Metropolis, providing production information and analysis for each. As always with this series, the immaculate pictures are a feast for the eyes.“Film Review, LondonUnited Kingdom |

„Movies of the 20s has no DVD and many of the films lovingly detailed can’t be had on DVD for love, money or anything else. But like the other books in this series, it is a masterpiece of picture research and attractive design, reviving a host of movies from an underexplored decade.“The Times, LondonUnited Kingdom |

“Con Cine de los 20 (TASCHEN, 482 pág. 29,99€) Jürgen Müller da por concluida su celebrada serie de libros de lujo (uno por década) sobre las películas más vistas de la historia del septimo arte. Después de sentar cátedra sobre la producción cinematográfica de los 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, y 30, ahora se adentra en la zona quizás más fascinante de todas su propuesta ensayística: la que abarca desde 1895 hasta la aparición del cine sonoro. Resulta imposible cerrar este diccionario ilustrado de lujo sin que le entren ganas a uno de volver a ver a Louise Brooke en La Caja de Pandora.” directors.“Fotogramas, MadridSpain |

„With the gloriously glossy book Movies of the 20s, Jürgen Müller’s expert analysis and fascinating insight places Pandora’s Box in the wider context of the silent era. Often thought of in an evolutionist way, the first three decades of cinema are usually neglected as inferior or irrelevant to the modern age, but contrasting the showmanship of Hollywood with European artistry, Müller explores the full extent of the imagination and ingenuity imployed by early directors.“The Big Issue, West MidlandsUnited States |

"Movies of The 20’s: pour tout savoir sur la naissance du cinéma. Et voilà. Le moment fatidique est arrivé: voici le huitième et dernier volume de la très belle – et pour certains, indispensable - collection Films des années… publiée par les très prisées Editions TASCHEN. Toujours sous la houlette de Jürgen Müller, cet ultime (?) ouvrage, sobrement intitulé Movies of the 20’s, se tourne cette fois sur la naissance du septième Art, effervescente période de 1895 à 1930. Comme à l’accoutumée, la bête est énorme (480 pages) et superbement fournie, d’informations, d’anecdotes et - surtout - de documents photographiques dont la qualité de rendu est étonnante compte tenu de leur grand âge. (…) Vous a-t-on dit que Movies of the 20’s était un livre indispensable?"commeaucinema.comFrance |

"Chaque commentaire des œuvres est précédé par la distribution succincte du film et accompagné d’un encadré thématique ou consacré à un artiste. Le palmarès des Academy Awards 1927-1930 ainsi qu’un index général et des titres (français et originaux) complètent ce livre à la riche iconographie."dvdtoile.comFrance |

Using the structures and techniques of fine art, along with the language and metaphors of the unconscious they made their films speak to the emotions and senses of audiences with no need for anything as prosaic as dialogue.“The Big Issue, LondonUnited Kingdom |
