Combining fictional and documentary modes, the film takes a critical stance toward Frankfurt's public sphere and urban redevelopment. Despite the serious formal and political concerns of the film, Kluge's heightened sense of the absurd safeguards a reserve of utopian optimism.
Unfortunately the movie In Danger and Dire Distress the Middle of the Road Leads to Death is not yet available on HBO Max.
