Heiner Müller in Time Flight

Original title: Heiner Müller im Zeitenflug

Directed by Alexander Kluge

Müller describes Ovid's Metamorphoses, Golding's translation of which (1603) was one of Shakespeare's sources, as an encyclopedia of the Greek myths, its dramatic central theme being the transformation of human beings into animals, plants, stones---either as a punishment or out of a need to escape.
