Under the Sign of Mars

This film blends historical footage of tanks and soldiers from the First and Second World Wars with elements of Russian avant-garde art. The visuals are accompanied by heavy metal music, specifically the death and grind genres from bands like Abhorrence, Acrostichon, Toxaemia, and Disgrace.

Under the Sign of Mars utilizes a montage style to create a visually alienating experience, challenging the viewer's perception of war and its representation in art. The inclusion of interviews with Heiner Müller adds a personal dimension to the film, intertwining his thoughts with the impactful imagery. This approach makes the film an intriguing piece for those interested in experimental cinema and the intersection of music and visual art.
