Alexander Kluge's lizard-eyed satire about the chief of security at a besieged factory: the laughing-stock central character has a bratwurst physique and a Germanic mania for order and preparedness. Kluge displays so much cool detachment from his subject that the crystalline images (photographed by Thomas Mauch) seem to float slowly away from you, and the anti-authoritarian jokes seem to burn themselves out like meteors before they reach you. (1976) — Duncan Shepherd
