About This Movie

Theorie der Erzählung is a fascinating dive into Alexander Kluge's explorations from his Frankfurt lectures. The pacing can feel slow at times, but that’s really part of its charm; it's all about the contemplation and depth of thought. Kluge navigates through poetics in a way that feels almost conversational, engaging with the audience rather than lecturing. The tone is reflective, encouraging you to ponder narrative structures and the nuances of storytelling.
