News from Ideological Antiquity: Marx – Eisenstein – The Capital
2008 · 570 MIN · IMDB 7.7 · 73 VOTES · DIR. Alexander Kluge
Overview
Alexander Kluge’s News from Ideological Antiquity begins with Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein’s ambitious but unrealized plan to combine Karl Marx’s Capital and James Joyce’s Ulysses. For over nine hours, the film expands in concentric circles as Kluge, his guests, interlocutors and monologists make associative links on a range of topics that starts from a filmic discussion of Eisenstein’s notes.
