Wie hängen sie zusammen

In "Michael Kohlhaas" by Heinrich von Kleist, a swindled horse trader rebels against the authorities—with fatal consequences. Volker Schlöndorff attempted a film adaptation in 1969 (MICHAEL KOHLHAAS - THE REBEL), which flopped—possibly also because the production company interfered too much in the creative process. Aron Lehmann's KOHLHAAS OR THE PROPORTIONALITY OF MEANS also addresses filmmaking and its dependence on financiers. Here, a director who wants to film "Kohlhaas" becomes a rebel himself when his funding is cut off.
