The Tetralogy of Eau Thermale

The Tetralogie of Eau Thermale sends us on a road trip along the commonly available ways of constructing stories. Culture industry and we as spectators are continuously orbiting around a limited number of narrative patterns, which are reproduced and recognized. As a self-proclaimed tetralogy the film hints at mainstream cinema's urge to constantly continue what has been completed. Utilizing forms of prequel- and sequel-structures the tetralogy lets cyclical and linear concepts of narration collide. Again and again the promise of a coherent story containing conflict, development and a climax seems to appear, yet it never becomes clear wether such a story actually exists.
