Retrospective

Wundkanal

FromThomas Harlan

WithAlfred Filbert, Robert Kramer, Heike Geschonneck, Rolf Niffuag

Year1984

Duration107min.

A group of armed fighters take control of a Nazi criminal and force him to come to terms with himself. To ‘help’ him do this, they interrogate him and confront him with his deeds - until he is ready to stammer out a kind of confession. Then suicide or murder, in any case a violent end. A thorn in the side of West German cinema, a genuinely disturbing, aesthetically stylised and irritating core work of political filmmaking with a will to take things - RAF and Nazis, Stammheim and concentration camps, false suicides and real mass murders - to the extreme. In the leading role: the convicted Nazi criminal Dr Alfred Filbert, former SS-Obersturmbannführer and deputy head of the SD foreign intelligence service. (Olaf Möller)
