Then dear Mario Barth.

Buses to Nowhere: In the episode film "Germany 09" wanted 13 prominent young directors the current state of the nation talking about it - have escaped banality full 150 minutes, vanity and retro gags. A sad "Nonstop nonsense" version of German cinema.

 

These miserable loneliness, it pushes people to the biggest and the wretched deeds. In Germany there are a number of young directors who made the creative isolation out the local cinema force syringes have set. People like Fatih Akin, with "Quick and painless" once alone classic genre cinema with the reality of young migrants has matched. Or Hans Steinbichler, with "Hierankl" an extremely modern drama staged Alps. Or Hans Weingartner, whose Attac anthem "The Edukators" pop and politics together.

If this country so many strong individual voices to be found, then one could not become a grandiose choral bundle? This was probably the idea of the project "Germany 09" was based on the 13 German directors to discuss the state of the nation. Omnibus films are such productions like to call - even if they are anything but rapidly come along.

After all, the longing for togetherness, in the event of "Germany 09" Unfortunately, almost exclusive half-baked, half-truths and Halbgedachtes spawned. And tragically, the show just the contributions of Akin, Steinbichler and Weingartner particularly clear.

It would Fatih Akin's etude "The name of Murat Kurnaz" quite explosive force can possess - the director would only aesthetically ambitious approach as well as politically. For Akin two actors can be an interview after speaking to the one in Guantanamo Kurnaz imprisoned Turk Bremer the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" has been made.

But the just claims of political prisoners in the development of reconstruction no deepening of the scandal. Conclusive, it would have been the words of the candidates attacked Chancellor Frank-Walter Stein Meier, at that time with the operation of Kurnaz case, to quote, to possibly a gemeingefährlichen bureaucracy to unmask. But Akin's contribution remains concentrated concern kitsch.

Tom Tykwer: "Solemnly travels"
Hans Weingartner: "endanger"

The same applies to Weingartner Verschwörungsdramolett "hazard", which is also a true story is based. It is about the city of Berlin sociologist Andrej Holm, from Staatsschützern was targeted after it while Googling for suspicious words in his writings have encountered. Blöde only Weingartner that the figures in hearty good Ökos and demonic Officials subdivided. The potential dangers of a porous state but are not considered to be the eve of soap once.

While Akin and Weingartner but nevertheless genuine indignation prevails, it brings Steinbichler in "fracture" just an ironic farce: His favorite actor Josef Bierbichler are here once again the conservative choleric, the editors of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung runs amok after beloved fracture font from the editorials was banished. If the enemy should be the culture war can safely be terminated.

Ah, how easy it had opposed Kluge, Fassbinder and Co., the first against granddads aufbegehrten cinema and later resulting in their 1978 collective work "Germany in Autumn" against state violence and terror hysteria anfilmten. At this plant from the cold days, clanking a deeply divided country, the boys now want to build. But in the German Short Cuts anno 2009 looking in vain the dangerous presence of a Fassbinder, who at his naked genital rubbing negative effect on the currents of the time reflects.

What is left is for onanism pure. For example, the contribution of "Perfume" creator Tom Tykwer, the "Feierlich traveling" a business man by the synchronized world of Starbucks and Co. sends globalization critics as cutting narzistisches thunderstorm. It works with the same techniques that one pretends to criticize. Subversion of the audience is looking in vain: Grandpa's cinema is back, but it was expensive einparfümiert.

Anyway, almost all of the etudes was far too noble appearance - so to see term papers particularly ambitious student film made. Whether you're Sylke Enders media criticism miniature "imbalance" is where a camera crew in a soup kitchen for the poor mind. Or, Wolfgang Becker's political satire "sick house" for the "Good Bye, Lenin!" Director pretty much all the negative terms with regard to the welfare of the settled puns, metaphor of a Total Hospital crazy bundles. Germany as a coma patient, we laugh at ourselves patchy.

Because we feel Dieter Hallervorden out the obvious for other contributions to the spiritual adviser has: And now the joke played! So she sees that the "nonstop nonsense" version of a German auteur cinema.

Since it is only logical that the only interesting work quasi-documentary are: "A democratic round table at fixed times" shows Isabelle Stever Klassenrat at the elementary school pupils - and will take place in the description of voting processes on the smallest level to an analogy of how democracy is exhausting .

Dominik Graf, however, turns his essay "The way that we do not go together" in a pamphlet against the architectural management business, which since the fall of the Wall, the town determines the FRG. When a country wants to erase its history, said the director and only true cultural warrior, which will be widely perceived as an ugly post-war architecture eliminated. Count specifies the order formally compelling contribution. Because he has created him in stichigen Super-8-images, so is his plea for the aesthetics of the fading as a counter to that of the extermination already manifest in the material.

Another little picture love comes Romuald Karmakar brothel owners psychogram "Ramses", therefore, in which an insight into Persian migrant sex there. Stark, Karmakar like the old men of the good old Vorwendetage in Berlin's red light milieu swarm can - and thereby demonstrating that the reference to the good old days long ago no German national issue more. Banal, however, the overly bold statements on all of the German Free fäkalspezifischen wishes. The Puff is very geschweinigelt doll, what else would you have thought?

Apropos schweinigeln:
In the cinema started with just sensational 600,000 weekend visitors Mario Barths' male thing ', a film full of puns in repulsive repulsive backdrop. It is feared that at any minute of the Barth plant more German than is present in the 150 minutes of vain photographed collective work.

"Germany 09": This bus is rolling into nowhere definitely.
