Amok. Das Ende der Einfühlung

Directed by Alexander Kluge

The Europeans were shocked by the Asian gunmen running amok in the 19th century: The perpetrators acted like "misanthropists," killing friend and foe with the same brutality. In the meantime the gunmen running amok have established themselves in the West as a public symbol as well. However there are no ballads or murder ballads to recount their stories.
