The Set is
German artist Peter Wächtler’s meticulous and detached account of his
experience as an extra on the set of
Bryan Singer's 2008 historical thriller Valkyrie. The film recounts
the story of the attempt by senior Wehrmacht officers to assassinate Hitler in
1944. It gave rise to various controversies, particularly regarding its
aesthetic choices and the casting of Tom Cruise, a Scientologist, to play Colonel
Claus von Stauffenberg.
This ethnographic-style account comes with 9
ballpoint pen drawings.
