Occasional Work of a Female Slave

Kluge’s left wing comedy formally recalls both Brecht and Godard in its depiction of a young housewife and mother with a part-time job as an abortionist. When she’s forced out of her job, she discovers the joy of political activism. The screening will be introduced by Maggie Hoeffgen, formerly of the Goethe Institut, Manchester.
