Summary
Moses und Aaron: An adaptation of Schoenberg's unfinished opera; a thrilling and rigorous consideration of Biblical and archaeological history, particularly with respect to the collective memory of the Egyptian enslavement of the Hebrews and the Exodus.
Machorka-Muff: A powerful, almost surreal distillation of a story by Heinrich Böll, Straub-Huillet's debut short film concerns a former Nazi colonel who takes advantage of his political and sexual status in post-war Germany.
Not reconciled: Straub-Huillet's heralded feature debut charts the origins and legacy of Nazism, as well as the moral demands of obedience and sacrifice within the German bourgeois family, in this vigorous adaptation of Heinrich Böll's novel.
Introduction to Arnold Schoenberg's "Accompaniment to a cinematographic scene": A fierce condemnation of anti-Semitism and the barbaric war machine of capitalism, inspired by a letter written in 1923 by composer Arnold Schoenberg to painter Wassily Kandinsky.
