In her memoirs, Lotte Eisner recalls with amusement a meeting with Alfred Weiner, the Film-Kurier’s publisher, in which she was scolded for a disparaging review she had written. Because the Film-Kurier depended in part on the placement of advertising by film producers, Weiner cautioned her, it was not good business to run negative reviews. He advised Eisner to stick to reviewing films she would be able to praise, however faint such praise might be. Eisner introduces this chapter in the memoirs on her years at the Film-Kurier by describing herself as the first female German film critic, always given the least important, least interesting assignments: ‘I rushed from one deadline to the next, and initially got the unpleasant tasks that no one else wanted to do – all manner of undesirable editorial duties, first among them covering the Ufa Kulturfilme. You cannot imagine something more boring and odious.’1¹

四处走动：Lotte Eisner 在 Film-Kurier 1927–33

在她的回忆录中，洛蒂·艾斯纳 (Lotte Eisner) 愉快地回忆起与电影库里尔( Film-Kurier ) 的出版商阿尔弗雷德·韦纳 (Alfred Weiner) 的会面，在会上她因撰写的贬低评论而受到责骂。由于Film-Kurier部分取决于电影制片人的广告投放，Weiner 告诫她，发表负面评论并不是一件好事。他建议艾斯纳坚持评论她可以称赞的电影，无论这种称赞有多微弱。艾斯纳在她在Film-Kurier的回忆录中介绍了这一章通过将自己描述为第一位德国女影评人，总是被分配最不重要、最不有趣的任务：“我从一个截止日期赶到下一个截止日期，最初得到了其他人不想做的令人不快的任务——各种不受欢迎的编辑职责，其中首先涉及乌法文化电影。你无法想象比这更无聊和可憎的事情。'1 ¹
