Antonio Negri - A Revolt That Never Ends

Few European intellectuals have experienced as much admiration and hatred, as much praise and rejection as Antonio Negri. Few had so much turmoil in their lives.

Year

2004

Length

52 min

Director

Alexandra Weltz and Andreas Pichler

Antonio Negri is a university professor, philosopher, militant, prisoner, refugee, enemy of the state and today one of the heads of the critical globalisation movement. He spent 16 years in prison, 14 years in exile. His book EMPIRE, published in 2000, became a world bestseller and is celebrated as the new communist manifesto of the 21st century.

From a contemporary perspective the film traces the biography of this controversial personality. Antonio Negris life is closely related to the history of the radical left wing movements in Italy during the 60s and 70s, its utopia and tragic ending. In Parisian exile he bonds with the philosophies of Deleuze and Guattari and he strongly influences the critical globalisation movement of today. The film portrays a life of a revolt, which never ends.

Trailer

„Just in diesem Moment überraschen uns die aus dem Theaterbereich stammenden jungen Regisseure Hans Block und Moritz Riesewieck mit einem erstaunlichen Dokumentarfilm, der seit Monaten Publikum und Kritik auf den wichtigsten Festivals der Welt elektrisiert. Völlig zu Recht: Es ist, als würden einem die Scheuklappen weggerissen, als sähe man das, was sich seit Jahren direkt vor unseren Augen abspielt, zum ersten Mal unverschleiert... eine fesselnde ,Doku noir' mit höchstem Anspruch...Dieser Film müsste an allen Schulen gezeigt werden.“
