This is a short 7-minute movie review by Harun Farocki made in 1985 for the German TV-series »Filmtip«. Over 300 short movie reviews have been produced for the series since 1978. You'll find more about »Filmtip«, the s...展开eries history and methods here. Farocki's short review is about Mehdi Charef's »Le thé au harem d'Archimède«. The movie was shown in German cinemas in 1985/86.
The images of Farocki's »Filmtip« are from a German-dubbed version of Charef's movie; no additional material has been produced or used. The only addition is the voice-over text, written by Farocki. The text (which is spoken by a professional voice-over-guy) is very simple and concise. It focusses on two longer descriptive/realistic sequences from Charef's movie and their impact on its narration and form. The text emphasizes the way characters are introduced and shown by quasi-documentary means describing their suroundings and according actions.
