A rare screening on 35mm of Ottomar Domnick’s 1957 little known avantgarde film. Visually informed by abstraction with a complex soundtrack mixing a poly-voiced commentary scripted by Hans Magnus Enzensberger with music by Duke Ellington and avantgarde composer Winfried Zillig, the film turns the increasing alienation and paranoia of a man in the urban reality of West Germany’s post war economic miracle into a profoundly Kafkaesque experience. Introduced by Martin Brady.
