Hat Wolff von Amerongen Konkursdelikte begangen?
Did Wolff von Amerongen Commit Bankruptcy Offenses?
Stringently constructed in long shots, the film recounts a somewhat
different economic history of Germany. Shots are seen of anonymous places of work, of everyday life and of invisible capital:
factories, dockyards, streets, public squares in unnamed cities. The accompanying soundtrack contains a chronique scandaleuse,
an account of the economic, personal and criminal inter-twinements of high finance. Picture and sound only rarely meet; Friedl
usually leaves the material to the audience for free association, to choose from and build their own narration. The film centers
around a question: How can business criminality be depicted and how can history/stories be constructed? (Barbara Pichler,
