Produktbeschreibung
The Golem goes to the movies – and stays there. Klaus S. Davidowicz traces the ancient myth of the Golem across the silver screen: from the silent guardian of Prague to plastinated Barbie – as monster, savior, memory, rebellion. This is a film book that looks deeper: into Jewish mysticism, kabbalistic letter-magic, and modern cinema icons like Blade Runner and Inglourious Basterds. The Golem is more than legend – it’s a way of thinking, a mirror, a question posed to creation itself. Davidowicz shows how a creature of clay and myth became a reflection of Jewish experience, cultural anxiety, and artistic vision. Alongside classics he analyzes many forgotten, surprising, or overlooked films – with insight, passion, and a sense for the magical power of cinema.
