Duck Soup
The Marx Brothers at war, which here is just a logical extension of the all-encompassing madness and which, in the end, is inevitably lost by the person who looks the most embarrassing. A timeless masterpiece. Hito Steyerl: ‘An alternative Marxist theory has existed for a long time, precisely since 1933, but it is usually understood neither as Marxist nor as a theory. We are talking about Duck Soup. Although everyone involved later vehemently denied that this film had the slightest thing to do with politics, it can be understood not only as a theory of polarisation, but also as an apocalyptic description of the massive terror that liberal democracy discovers as its image in the mirror.’ (Christoph Huber)
