This is an End

‘Das ist ein Ende’, FRG 1981, directed by Ulrike Pfeiffer, 15 min, with English subtitles, rated: 6

This experimental short film plays on genre conventions and expectations. Loosely connected elements from the Nouvelle Vague, thrillers, and silent film raise questions: What do the three young men in the car have to do with the woman in the café? Who is she waiting for? Electronic sounds from the artist padeluun, reminiscent of radio noises, link the scenes and give the impression that aliens are the observers of these mysterious events.
