2021Die Patriotin
Alexander Kluge
Hannelore Hoger, Dieter Mainka
Gabi Teichert, a history teacher, is unhappy with the way history is portrayed in textbooks and is looking for an alternative, more practical approach to 'uncovering' the past, quite literally digging with the spade and dissecting books with hammers and drills.
The Patriotic Woman
In Gefahr und größter Not bringt der Mittelweg den Tod
Edgar Reitz, Alexander Kluge
Dagmar Bödderich, Jutta Winkelmann
Combining fictional and documentary modes, the film takes a critical stance toward Frankfurt's public sphere and urban redevelopment. Despite the serious formal and political concerns of the film, Kluge's heightened sense of the absurd safeguards a reserve of utopian optimism.
