Angst

Loosely based on a real criminal case, Gerald Kargl’s only feature-length film, congenially scored by Klaus Schulze, tells the story of a nameless young man (Erwin Leder) who, having just been released from prison, goes on a manhunt in a villa. This exceptional work, which combines psychological empathy with a distanced, almost mechanical visual language, has lost none of its radicalness even a good forty years after its creation.
