“One of [Straub and Huillet’s] most illustrious works.”
—Cineaste
Celebrate International Workers’ Day with this formally and ideologically rigorous adaptation of Franz Kafka’s unfinished novel Amerika. Shot in beautifully stark black and white, Class Relations is a Brechtian, dystopian examination of capitalistic exploitation in the United States, told via the story of one immigrant’s descent into economic hardship.
