STUDIES FOR THE DECAY OF THE WEST

Studien zum Untergang des Abendlands

Directed by Klaus Wyborny
Germany, 2010
Avant-Garde, Documentary

Synopsis

Wyborny’s latest flicker film concentrates on factories, industrial wastelands, waterways, cityscapes, and the bits in between, and has an uncanny emotional resonance. It is “serene, in the manner of ants”—to quote the title of the second section—but it is also elegiac and melancholy.
