This dissertation offers the first comprehensive analysis of Kluge's cinematic oeuvre, providing a critical re-assessment of one of the most important directors and intellectuals of post-war Germany. Although it concentrates on Kluge's films, the dissertation also takes account of his written work to highlight his specific strategies and agendas in re-appropriating the German past and re-constructing German memory.
