A clash between modernism and classicism. The avant-garde film maker Klaus Wyborny identifies himself with the Roman conqueror and dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla. Wyborny makes his actor - wearing a combination of classical and contemporary clothing, the traditional toga with a fashionable T-shirt underneath - balance between present and passed. He investigates the inner life of Sulla and his relationship to nature, but also stops to examine the emerging forces that shaped the rise of Sulla's empire. By confronting the physical Sulla with the spiritual one, Wyborny manages to sketch an exceptional portrait of the classical politician in which pornography and inner civilisation go hand-in-hand. The story is set against the background of a bloody civil war in the Roman Empire. Sulla is in the countryside outside Rome and prepares to move into the city, that is in the hands of his enemies. He waits and turns to reflections. And to his lust. A taciturn Sulla is played by the famous actor Hans Zischler. An exuberant voice-over (read by Wyborny himself) provides a stream of consciousness that expresses the thoughts of the tormented Sulla. This picture of power is sometimes very literary, but also perverted and comic.

Wybornys most recent film is a startling modern take on Roman victor and dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla. Combining traditional togas and contemporary casual clothes, the German director stages a visually puzzling balancing act between the Roman era and the present. He examines Sullas inner world and his distorted relationship to nature as well as the outer influences in his building of a nation. Juxtaposing the functions of Sullas body and mind, Wyborny has created a stunning portrait of the politician, in which he blurs the lines between advanced civilization and pornography.
