Wandering throughout Germany and Italy to "find himself," Tonio frequently remembers his childhood experiences in a series of flashbacks. The highlight of the film is the expert lensing by cinematographer Wolf Wirth. Erika Mann, the daughter of the late poet and author, collaborated with Ennio Flaiano on the screenplay.

Brutality in Stone
Director of Photography
In his experimental short film "Brutalität in Stein" (Brutality in Stone), Alexander Kluge demonstrates how Nazi architecture used dimensions of inhuman and super-human scale to bolster the regime's politics of the same kind.

Die Stadt
Director of Photography
Trot Trot
Director of Photography
Detten Schleiermacher did not start making films until late in life. He was actually a typographer. With “Trab Trab” he made an impish attempt to create a synthesis between Dadaism and New Objectivity. The film is a precise and elegant account of a racecourse. It does so without narration or images of either horses or patrons; everything we see has been captured either pre- or post-race.
Stunde X
Director of Photography

People at the Espresso Bar
Director of Photography
Vesely’s study on changing urbanity claims that "the Espresso has a democratic touch." Italy has expanded into Munich and instead of beer hall cellars, there are Cappuccinos, ice creams and tables in the open.
