GERMANY YEAR 90 NINE ZERO
Everything stays different? - The Wild Nineties
Lemmy Caution, the secret agent from Godard’s dystopian classic ALPHAVILLE, saunters through Berlin shortly after the fall of the wall, recalling various events from German and European history that led to its construction. His trek between East and West and his openly stated vacillation between communism and capitalism embody the schizophrenic state in which Europe finds itself. A visual essay based on found footage and a loose narrative, rather than transporting any concrete political message Godard’s personal interpretation of the end of the cold war conveys the emotional entanglements of the moment.
