Abstract

These pages are dedicated to investigate certain aspects of the filmography of Christian Petzold, one of the most significant directors of the new German cinema, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Taking as an hermeneutical key the presence of “the profil picture” in these films, the pulse is taken of the effect’s actuality of the distancing propoed by Brecht, the new resources employed in the art of «soft editing» (Farocki) and the determination of Petzold to document the truth trough fiction. The insistent tratment, trough the filmic image, of the traumas suffered by the two Germanys during the twentieth century is the main argument of this article.
