“The relevance of Sandberg's monograph lies in the fact that it vividly highlights the film-historical significance of the cinematic work of the ‘gentle anarchist Peter Lilienthal’ …, which is largely difficult to access even for research purposes. In addition, Sandberg's transcontinental approach to research invites us to re-examine the work of other filmmakers with experiences of exile.” • Filmblatt

“Peter Lilienthal: A cinema of Exile and Resistance is a book that positions itself into the field of transnational cinema and adopts … an instructive and beneficial point of departure for an analysis of a cinema that moves cross-continental. … Sandberg’s analysis has enormous potential and is a prompt to re-consider the work of cineastes such as Helvio Soto, Raúl Ruiz, Valeria Sarmiento, Marilú Mallet, Angelina Vásquez and the genre of exile cinema in general.” • Wolfgang Bongers, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago for Imagofagia

“A great study of Lilienthal’s oeuvre, enriched by Claudia Sandberg’s personal interactions with Lilienthal, which updates the existing scholarship on this filmmaker.” • Laurie Johnson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

“Peter Lilienthal is an important and compelling study of a historically marginalized director and his commitments to transnational filmmaking. Vivid in description and rich in history, Claudia Sandberg's book engages us in exciting and insightful discussions of Lilienthal’s films and reminds us of their continuing relevance.” • Olivia Landry, Lehigh University
