Prinzip Zufall

In an experiment with a train set the psycho-physicist Dr. John Hagel examined unexplained phenomena of syncronicity. According to his statistics, the train set shouldn’t show abnormalities even after several thousand rounds. Surprisingly, the psycho-physicists observed, however, something entirely else. Everything is basically possible in Romeo Grnfelder’s enigmatic and bizarrely suspenseful film, which turns mathematical and physical states such as causality and the relationship between independent systems into a question of editing and pictorial style. The grainy and saturated Super 8 images are paradoxically shot in Cinemascope, which makes it appear even less grounded in a specific time and place. The elliptic plot is trimmed like a thriller where nothing happens by coincidence. Or does it? Either way, ‘Prinzip Zufall’ is made of the stuff that causes sleepless nights.
