As an Aside
‘Klammer auf, Klammer zu’ , GER 1966, directed by Hellmuth Costard, 22 min, English subtitles, rating: 6
It’s 1966 in Hamburg. Young Ole Braum wants to leave West Germany after the 1965 general elections. He hitchhikes, and is picked up by a young woman driving a Jaguar, but barely makes it to the Lüneburg Heath.
Director Hellmuth Costard combines elements of the nouvelle vague and genre film to create a smart, informal road movie that breaks away from audience expectations.
Featuring: Klaus Wyborny, Peter Dahl, Hanna Arlt
