The Evolution of Cinema in the 2010s

Throughout the 2010s, cinema faced a series of challenges as our viewing habits transformed, and technology continued to reshape our world. Social media and the internet redefined our understanding of identity and society, while streaming services and video games offered new forms of entertainment. The traditional movie-going experience found itself competing for attention, with films being reduced to mere "content" on screens of all sizes. However, despite these changes, cinema remained vibrant and diverse, offering audiences a range of experiences that kept the industry alive and thriving.

Although streaming has become a popular way to consume content, there is still a unique magic to watching a film in a theater. Our anthology explores the 100 most impactful movies of the decade in detail, providing insights from editor Jürgen Müller and his team of writers. Alongside biographies of actors and directors, box office figures, and background information, readers will also find a comprehensive list of Oscar winners from 2012 to 2021.

In their introduction, Jürgen Müller and Philipp Bühler reflect on Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) as a symbol of the complexities of contemporary cinema. This volume is a treasure trove for cinephiles and movie buffs alike, showcasing the rich tapestry of films that defined the 2010s.
