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.
