KLASSENVERHÄLTNISSE
France, West Germany
| 1984 | Danièle Huillet, Jean-Marie Straub
Straub-Huillet’s “most approachable film” (The Holt Foreign Film Guide) is a deadpan, minimalist adaptation of Franz Kafka’s unfinished final novel Amerika. The movie follows a young European immigrant newly arrived in the U.S. (perversely, the movie was shot in Germany), whose optimism about the “New World” is soon crushed by workaday realities and his awareness of class differences and power dynamics. Subtitles. 35mm. 130 min.
Special admission $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9; no passes, twofers, or radio winners.
