For Elise

1982 · 2 min

A tiny, deadpan provocation: a man toots the national anthem on a trumpet, more shrug than statement.

Overview: In his first 16mm film, Christoph Schlingensief plays the German national anthem on the trumpet! An expression of a deep life crisis after being rejected by the Munich Film Academy.
How it feels: Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Identity, art
