Alexander Kluge, born 1932 in Halberstadt, studied Law, History and Church Music in Freiburg, Marburg and Frankfurt. He worked for a period as a lawyer, but through the good offices of Theodor W. Adorno he gained an internship with film director Fritz Lang, and soon established himself as a filmmaker, screenwriter, television producer and writer. Kluge is recognized as one of the most influential representatives of New German Cinema, a movement he helped to establish and develop, both in theory and in practice.
