The strong portrait of an old ragman in Berlin in 1966: twelve moments, twelve short chapters on the face and daily life of an old poor man, a great short film against poverty, an invitation to class struggle filmed in a high stylish way remembering Godard’s Vivre sa vie. It was made by then film student Holger Meins who became one of the key figure of the German New Left and, in 1971, was arrested as a member of the Baader-Meinhof-Group/Rote Armee Fraktion during a TV live broadcast and who in 1974 died in prison as the result of a hunger strike. Holger Meins was a great Cinematographer too, he worked for his friends Harun Farocki and Hartmut Bitomsky: his style was the same that was being developed in the late 1960s at the Berlin Film School, largely by the students ignoring the teachers and finding their own voice, a brilliant mao-aestheticism well tempered with brave political contents.
Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet dedicated to Holger Meins their film Moses und Aron.
