ABSTRACT:
A 5 page research paper/essay that offers a viewer reaction and analysis of the first two episodes of Edgar Reitz’s 1984 TV series, Heimat: Eine Deutsche Chronik (Homeland: A Chronicle of Germany), which serves as an expansive canvas on which Reitz presents a vision of Germany’s past and the changes of modernity that overtook provincial life, shaping the twentieth century experience of the people of Schabbach (a fictional German village). This examination of the first two episodes of Reitz’s eleven-part series focuses on the various themes that Reitz establishes early on in the series, both from a narrative standpoint and also through superb use of cinematography and poetic imagery. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
