Amon Düül II: Der grosse Verhau / The Big Mess

Amon Düül II in a short scene Scene from
Der grosse Verhau - The Big Mess
by Alexander Kluge, 1971
As in George Lucas’s space saga, the opening crawl in Der große Verhau informs us that a galactic civil war is raging. While the evil empire reigns in Star Wars, here it is the Suez Canal Company. Resistance comes from the scavengers, smugglers and junk dealers, not unlike the rebels in Lucas’s film. However, Alexander Kluge counters the good vs. evil pathos with a tongue-in-cheek anti-capitalistic nonsense narrative.
