The film by Théodore Ushev, inspired by Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, is a furious exploration of the topic “Man and Industry”, accompanied by modernistic music and created with the shortest of rhythmic cuts. Between the repeatedly superimposed real pictures and two-dimensional graphics, various quotes from socialist propaganda-art flare up.
