Combining fictional and documentary modes, the film takes a critical stance toward Frankfurt's public sphere and urban redevelopment. Despite the serious formal and political concerns of the film, Kluge's heightened sense of the absurd safeguards a reserve of utopian optimism.
In Danger and Dire Distress the Middle of the Road Leads to Death was directed by Alexander Kluge and Edgar Reitz.
In Danger and Dire Distress the Middle of the Road Leads to Death runs for 1h 26min, and was released in 1974.
