Gold Flakes

1976 · 163 min

A restless, theatrical fever dream that drifts between eras and styles, demanding patience as it revels in artifice and excess.

Directed by
Werner Schroeter
Genres
Drama
Overview
Werner Schroeter's rhapsody of excess leaps from 1949 Cuba to contemporary France to points in between, while its feverishly shifting visual style evokes and parodies everything from kitschy Mexican telenovelas to silent French art films.
How it feels
Slow-burning and demanding.
Content
Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
