Iconoclast, philosopher, aesthete: Alexander Kluge is all this and more. One of the founding fathers of the New German Cinema, Kluge made a varied and significant impact on the history of cinema.

Combining a series of subtly interconnecting vignettes ranging from staged dramatic pieces, non-fiction footage, archival prints and film excerpts, The Power of Emotion is one of Kluge's most fascinating and philosophical collage films. Organic and densely layered, Kluge's filmic meditation on the intangible, undeniable and often irrational mechanics of human emotion argues that materiality is the opposite of emotion, and that emotions, by nature, search for a happy ending.
