Brutality in Stone
1961 · 12 MIN · IMDB 7.2 · 288 VOTES · DIR. Alexander Kluge, Peter Schamoni
Overview
In his experimental short film "Brutalität in Stein" (Brutality in Stone), Alexander Kluge demonstrates how Nazi architecture used dimensions of inhuman and super-human scale to bolster the regime's politics of the same kind. Shots of huge neo-classical architectural structures from the Nazi period are confronted with equally anti-human national-socialist language as a voice-over.
