Sinopsis

In November 1929, Sergei Eisenstein visited James Joyce to share his incredible idea of filming Das Kapital following the narrative structure of Ulysses: an ordinary day in the life of a worker. His project never took shape. Eighty-one years later, Kluge realised Eisenstein’s dream. His tribute became an almost ten-hour-long film essay.
