DirectorAlexander Kluge

2000
15 min

The theme here is the rapid development from the beginning of the universe to the Gauls. At the half-way stage of this development, the Sahara became a swamp. Before, a marine environment, later, a desert. The time during which the earth has developed possesses a violent force. Time is material violence. In memory, it shrinks.
