Film Notes
In a series of photo collages and coloured static photographs, a portrait of Hitler as a crazy fool. To a soundtrack of cabaret music, the images are edited in an associative sequence and appear to be moving while being saturated in smoke. Here, Plaat transforms the serious into the ridiculous, or as he put it: “Tragic situations inevitably have absurdist sides”.
