Uli M. Schueppel’s 1987 debut feature plunges into an apocalyptic nocturne of despair, mysticism and a stark Berlin underground aesthetic. Rendered in raw, expressionistic images, the film follows fragmented lives on the edge of collapse, blending documentary grit with poetic surrealism. Alexander Hacke’s original score—rooted in industrial textures and haunting melodies—underscores the film’s hypnotic atmosphere; his live re-creation heightens the visceral drama and the work’s otherworldly intensity.
