Die Selbstzerstörung des Walter Matthias Diggelmann

F Watchlist

The writer Walter Matthias Diggelmann is given one hour to hold forth in front of a running camera and sound recorder. Nothing is edited. Everything stays as it is. Can one ever be hard enough on oneself in the public eye? And what use is all honesty when you, to the best of your knowledge and conscience tell it as it is, but this does not correspond to what is expected of you, and what the others see in you? How much humanity can cinema convey? An applied contribution to the philosophy of film and possibly the most enigmatic film by Mertens & Marti.
