First sentence: Few artistic media so closely parallel the rise and fall of the Weimar Republic as German silent film, which began to flourish as a medium of international stature shortly after the November Revolution, reached its zenith within two years of the Treaty of Locarno, and became largely irrelevant (with the advent of talking pictures) by the beginning of the next decade.
