Ludwig – Requiem for a Virgin King (1972)
Reflected in an artificial and bombastically staged illusory world with Wagnerian compositions, glossy and satirical time references, 19th century German figures and traditions are stripped of their mythology and interpreted by the Germany of 1972.
Director: Hans-Jürgen Syberberg
