The State Chancellery
The State Chancellery
1989, German. Directed by Heinrich Breloer.
In the hybrid form of documentary and dramatized scenes, the Barschel affair, one of the major domestic political scandals of the 1980s, is reconstructed. While the documentary scenes are reminiscent of the familiar television images of the scandal, the fictional scenes suggest to the viewer what might have happened when the cameras and microphones were turned off.
