Story
ESSAY After more than 20 years, Alexander Kluge returns to the cinema screen with a happy lament that links the slums of Manila with Elvis Presley and King Kong. When Heiner Müller muses on the moon, Helge Schneider on the orchestration of space and Peter Berling on the military use of lions, you’re almost certainly watching an Alexander Kluge film. Playfully and associatively, he connects the G20 summit with the circus, electric elephants and blue moons. The film was made in cooperation with the Philippine cinema rebel Khavn, Excerpts from his film Alipato – The Very Brief Life of an Ember provide the soundtrack for the essay.
