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. Shots of huge neo-classical architectural structures from the Nazi period are confronted with equally anti-human national-socialist language as a voice-over.
Brutality in Stone was directed by Alexander Kluge and Peter Schamoni.
Brutality in Stone runs for 12min, and was released in 1961.
