Schlagworte – Schlagbilder. Ein Gespräch mit Vilém Flusser

About This Movie

So, there's this 1986 documentary called 'Schlagworte – Schlagbilder' where Harun Farocki has this deep conversation with Vilém Flusser, and it’s all centered around the Bild Zeitung. The atmosphere is quite cerebral, with a slow pacing that really allows you to absorb Flusser's insights on media and image culture. It’s not flashy, more of an intellectual exploration than a visual spectacle, but that’s what makes it distinctive. Farocki's approach is really engaging—he's not just asking questions; he's digging into the implications of what Flusser is saying. If you're into media theory and its impact, this film offers a rather unique perspective worth exploring.
