An opera film by Alexander Kluge
Film by Kluge and Aust.
Short science fiction film with footage from Willi Tobler und der Untergang der 6. Flotte.
Combining fictional and documentary modes, Kluge's In Danger and Dire Distress... 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.
Willi endeavors to survive in a world where annihilistic galactic battles rage, by taking a job at the centre of power. But it's the wrong side that he takes in this civil war...
A new version of Nipp and Tuck (Del Ruth / Sennett, 1923)
