History Lessons

Based on a Brecht novel, Straub-Huillet 1972
Huge back of head, alienating shots. Presumably unstaged traffic hold ups. Makeus repeat the banality of the life. Draw us away from the dialogue. Conflict of the two types of shots.
Dialogue spoken to no one in particular. Zero outside of the frame. Clear backdrops. Almost a simple chronicle.
The ‘why’? Rather stands for this film. Seen as a protest, really.
