AUTOBAHN 38

A film by Frank Fischer and Stefan Kluge


Synopsis

Why do people visit places where other people were
born, lived, fought, or died? What does it mean to be a
tourist?

There was no time to waste on October 3rd, 2008, the
18th anniversary of the German reunification. This
journey along the German autobahn A 38, from East to
West, from Leipzig to Göttingen, could only take one
day. 21 sleepless hours, to be precise.

This is not a movie. This is a wild 23-minutes crossover
combining elements of documentary, mockumentary,
travel clip, freestyle, different subcultures, YouTube chic,
and a load of explicit or obscure allusions to German and
Western culture.

Thus it follows a tangential structure. Most of the things
are just mentioned or shown briefly, it is more like an
index to actual contents. Among others, Gustav II Adolf,
Nietzsche, Goethe, Cortázar, Pushkin, and infamous
German field marshal von Hindenburg are referenced.
There is also room for phantasmagoric approaches, like
an excessive dialogue about the origin of ABC’s hit
series “Lost”.

A visit to the world’s biggest rose collection with more
than 8,300 breeds represents history’s vulgar
romanticism. But also the battlegrounds of the great
European wars are passed by, as are poets’ and
philosophers’ birthplaces, and obscenely large national
monuments. Wikipedia is quoted briefly to exemplify the
triumph of in-situ knowledge; Creative Commons music
by Revolution Void adds some style, not to forget the
voice-over hommage à Werner Herzog.
