Ludwig – Requiem for a Virgin King

1972-06-222 hours 15 minutes

Reflected in an artificial and bombastically staged illusory world with Wagnerian compositions, glossy and satirical time references, 19th century German figures and traditions are stripped of their mythology and interpreted by the Germany of 1972.
