(Dietmar Brehm) to Perfekt-2 The film´s title refers to an architectural disaster, the collapse of the Tacoma Narrow Bridge in the US state of Washington, which happened on November 7, 1940. The lurching bridge and its eventual collapse were filmed by a camera crew. Brehm then condensed a Super-8 fragment of this footage by means of altering it and confronting it with other materials to create a parable of “sex and violence” and life and death.
