Podemos considerar tipicamente glauberianos: o arrebatamento lírico das tomadas, e a insistência bem característica sobre as preocupações nacionalistas e progressistas do diretor, com a presença muito concreta da imagem das pessoas no trabalho, nas sequências urbanas, e do produto, da mercadoria."

In the first action he filmed, 6/64 Mama und Papa, Kren’s editing leads to many interlocking continuous shots; central takes recur like a leitmotif, circular motion and networking can be observed throughout the film. Kren painstakingly weaves the fury in front of his camera lens into dense geometrical figures. Shot/countershot sequences alternate, lumping back and forth between single (!) frames, they turn the Actionist turmoil into ornaments, rigid geometrical patterns, the equivalent in time to what Mondrian used to distill on canvas in space. (Peter Tscherkassky)
