Der Angriff der Gegenwart auf die Übrige Zeit (The Blind Director)

The core of Kluge's thesis in The Blind Director had to do with our perception of art in the revolutionary 20th Century. He opens with a passage from a production of Verdi's Tosca, thus defining how moral and aesthetic issues were viewed by leading artistic figures yesterday. Kluge then seeks to re-define these same issues through the lens of a movie camera, citing the seventh art as today's dominating moral and aesthetic voice.
