DirectorAlexander Kluge

1992
18 min

Images from the Versailles summit in 1982 and from the summit at the Munich Residence in 1992: The leaders and their men. Also, images from the "hot August" of 1977 and the "stormy February" of 1973: In all these cases, state power pulls hard on the brakes so that they screech.
