Filmfuge

The work of the German film director Hans Jürgen Syberberg (b. 1935), which comprises both his films and his writings about film, is a response to the “radical guilt” of film in supporting National Socialism. According to Syberberg, the guilt of film should be considered radical not because of the reduction of film to propaganda in the films produced by the National Socialist regime, but rather because of the National Socialist understanding of art, and film in particular, as the essence of reality in general. In order to be “redeemed” from such radical guilt, film should return to its origin, which Syberberg considers to be something musical, and rediscover its essential elements. The following study is an attempt to understand Syberberg’s argument that fugue is the essence of music. The meaning of his argument is explored on the basis of the analysis of his film "Ludwig: Requiem for the Virgin King" from 1972.
