Comedy? Political satire? War film? Cult film? German language? English language? Artistic
genius? Personal indulgence? You’ll need to decide for yourself, as this festival film from
young director-writer-actor Alexander Tuschinski has them all plus time travel to boot as
Arnold Richter travels from depression-era Germany to (among other places) a totalitarian
future that’s ripe for revolution.
Note: On the DVD, the English scenes may be viewed
with German subtitles and vice versa.
