Not Reconciled
Nicht versöhnt oder Es hilft nur Gewalt, wo Gewalt herrscht
(Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub, W Germany 1965, 53' )
English subtitles
A cool, hard look at the fatal continuities in pre- and post-war
German history, based on a novel by Heinrich Böll. In the filmmakers'
own words, they discarded the picturesque and anecdotal elements
of the novel 'to create through the story of a middle-class German
family from 1910 to our times a pure cinematographic, moral and
political reflection on the last fifty years of German life, a kind
of film oratorio'.
Plus
Machorka-Muff
(Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub, W Germany 1962, 18')
English subtitles
Heinrich Böll's satirical story about the post-war rearmament
of West Germany is turned into 'a fast-paced, acerbic and spare
little documentary' (John Sandford).
