The Poet as Metaphor Slingshot
The Poet as Metaphor Slingshot
1997, German. Directed by Alexander Kluge.
The point of departure for this discussion is the question of whether the collapse of the Soviet Union is dramatic material. Müller answers with this Brechtian sentence: "Oil resists the five acts." He describes how difficult it is to make a dramatic adaptation of structures or massive processes that are not bound to biographies.
