Title:
Die Macht der Gefühle
"Five changes of time, five changes of place. Always the same question (A. Kluge). A cornucopia of fragments, condensed into just a few seconds, each conveying a different experience of reality. Even operas are reduced to seconds, just as are the episodes invented by Kluge. The central issue of the film: 'Why do feelings, which move the world, lead to such misfortune in the end, although the feelings themselves -- each and every one -- are theologists of happiness? They stubbornly believe in happiness?'" Director: Alexander Kluge. Cast: Barbara Auer, Edgar Boehlke, Hannelore Hoger, Beate Holle, Alexandra Kluge, Erwin Schersel, Klaus Wennemann. Color. English subtitles.
