One Way Street: Fragments for Walter Benjamin Synopsis

Walter Benjamin is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, yet his work is relatively unknown to many. One Way Street is both an exposition of Benjamin’s ideas and a search for Benjamin the man in locations as diverse as the academics of Moscow, the bookstores of New York, Parisienne arcades and the cemetery in a Spanish costal village that has become a place of pilgrimage for Benjamin devotees.

One Way Street: Fragments for Walter Benjamin (1992) is a documentary film directed by John Hughes, released on January 1, 1992 with a runtime of 58m.
