Abstract
For Joseph Roth, film and cinema had a central aesthetic, thematic and existential significance; they influenced his journalistic texts and his poetics. Roth’s position is marked by a fundamental ambivalence between fascination and repulsion: he frequently rejects the illusionistic, technically oriented feature films, prefers documentaries, comedies, and thematic complexity, and evaluates cinema primarily according to poetic and ethical criteria. This perspective leads to original insights, but also to conscious ignorance of the avant-garde’s aesthetic innovation influenced by film, even as his own literary practice develops cinematic structures and modes of perception.
