Reel 17 of Gérard Courant's on-going Cinematon series.

Interview film with the protagonists of the New German Cinema in 1966.

ZERO IN THE UNIVERSE is a comedy, a cryptogram–a message in code to the viewer. Who is Zero? What universe? What is the opposition of Zero and his arch enemy, Steinmetz? What does it come from, and where, if anywhere, does it go. The film presents abundant clues, but the answers are never stated. –J. L.
