Plot

A film essay on emotion in the cinema.

Sinekatalog’s take

Alexander Kluge's film essay gathers scenes, interviews and fragments on emotion in the cinema and opera, in his associative style. Witty and probing, it is a dense, intelligent and eccentric reflection on how films move us.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
