Die Vorstandssitzung, ‘the board meeting’, is a bizarre parody on capitalist society based on developments in a car factory with fourteen thousand employees.The factory is in decline so some bright spark at a board meeting suggests making products to improve the environment. The idea is put into practice and after a while the air is clean again and the market stagnates. What next? ‘Produce more filth.’Severin made clever use of repeating the same shots with different narrations in his ruthless social criticism.
