"Der Form einen Sinn geben" formuliert Sapper seinen methodischen Ansatz und distanziert sich dadurch von der Tradition deutscher Funktionalisten mit dem Leitmotiv "form follows function". [G] "Giving form a meaning" is how Sapper expresses his methodological approach, thereby distancing himself from the tradition of German functionalists with their leitmotif of "Form Follows Function".

Dieses Zitat kann auch als Leitmotiv für alle nachfolgenden Filme Ottingers gelten, in denen karnevaleske Szenen und commedia dell'arte gepaart mit einem Schuss barocker Morbidität sowie Anleihen an das Genre des Sciencefiction-Films zu einer einzigartigen erzählerischen Mischung verwoben sind. Diese Mischung sprengt alle gängigen Stil- und Genre-Schubladen. [G] This observation may also serve to characterize a leitmotif in all of Ottinger's subsequent work, in which carnivalesque and commedia dell'arte scenes seasoned with a pinch of Baroque morbidity are interwoven with borrowings from science fiction movies to form a unique narrative blend - a blend that defies all conventional pigeonholing of style or genre.
