Die Artisten in der Zirkuskuppel: Ratlos ("The Artists in the Big Top: Perplexed") is a 1968 German film directed by Alexander Kluge. The film is made in a collage style, featuring newsreels and quotations from philosophers alongside the story of a failing circus whose owner, Leni (Hannelore Hoger), must decide whether her dream of a new kind of circus is too optimistic. The film is a symbolic representation of Kluge's own frustrations in trying to help stimulate the New German Cinema movement.[1]
The film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
