Schwarz-Weiß-Rot 1964

Directed by Helmut Herbst

The film makes fun of the superficial changes in power in their birthplaces. Herbst's painting depicts a society of excited string toys who first march to the strains of the Kaiser's anthem, whose black, white and red flag dominates the swastika, before being incorporated into the colors of a conglomerate of right-wing newspapers. Black, white, red. Three times, the Germans march organized in columns and ranks: under the colors of the Kaiser, the Führer and Axel Springer.
