Der General
1987, German. Directed by Schmelzdahin.
Der General defies narrative conventions. As a visual experience and thanks to the manipulations of color and the processing of images, Der General deploys its own logic and becomes a consistent whole in its visual expression. Plunged into a world of abstract fairy tale, traces of dreams, the nature and history of Germany converge and shape a timeless and limitless kingdom.
