PROPOSITION IN FOUR PARTS
A film in dialogue with the work of one of Straub and Huillet’s less likely influences, D.W. Griffith, Proposition in Four Parts follows a prelude excerpting Griffith’s 1909 short A Corner in Wheat—in which a capitalist exploiter faces a death rife with poetic irony—with a montage illustrating the cause-and-effect links between the greed of the few and the want of the many, drawing extensively on their own earlier films.
