Lotte Eisner was a woman of many talents: a writer, archivist and curator who could draw on wide-ranging interests and a stupendous knowledge that went far beyond film history into other, varied fields of culture, including literature and philosophy, theatre and architecture, music and the visual arts. The three books she wrote on the history of the cinema – The Haunted Screen first published in French in 1952, and her books on F. W. Murnau from 1964 and Fritz Lang from 1974 – reflect this range of expertise. While all three books are primarily conceived as studies in visual composition and film style and thus betray Eisner’s art-historical training, they differ in instructive ways with regard to how she approaches each project.

透过镜子：穆尔瑙的 Lotte H. Eisner 和 Éric Rohmer

洛蒂·艾斯纳是一位多才多艺的女性：一位作家、档案保管员和策展人，她可以利用广泛的兴趣和惊人的知识，这些知识远远超出了电影史，进入了其他不同的文化领域，包括文学和哲学、戏剧和建筑，音乐和视觉艺术。她写的关于电影历史的三本书——1952 年首次以法语出版的《闹鬼的银幕》，以及她 1964 年出版的 FW Murnau 和 1974 年的弗里茨·朗——反映了这方面的专业知识。虽然这三本书主要被认为是对视觉构图和电影风格的研究，因此背叛了艾斯纳的艺术史训练，但它们在她如何处理每个项目方面的指导性方式有所不同。
