Still from Class Relations
1984 |
|
Widely admired by critics, this is based on Kafka's
novel fragment Amerika about the land of promise that turns
out to be just as corrupt as the old world. The text is articulated
with syncopated pauses and a range of speech registers reminiscent
of Schoenberg, thus defamiliarizing German language and culture
and opening up new possibilities for their reception.
