Ludwig – Requiem for a Virgin King 1972 Directed by Hans-Jürgen Syberberg Ludwig - Requiem für einen jungfräulichen König

Reflected in an artificial and bombastically staged illusory world with Wagnerian compositions, glossy and satirical time references, 19th century German figures and traditions are stripped of their mythology and interpreted by the Germany of 1972.
