Michael

Michael is one of the German names that ranks high in birth registries and the film industry. In Elfriede Jelinek's "Youth Book for the Infantile Society," the same name represents an ideological dung heap, on which only those dreams thrive that are socially desirable and politically useful. The breeding, begun early enough, produces nearly soulless art-dream people, represented here by two young girls. They lead into a consciousness musical, into a crazy landscape made up entirely of identification offers, perhaps the most fatal ones that mass media have to assimilate into the insecure individual.
