Leben - BRD

Feb 10 1990 N/A 1h 23m
Documentary

A series of 32 short scenes, uniformly set in West German instructional and training classes, that show various tasks among the citizenry being done solely as the result of exhaustive preparation - everything from women preparing to give birth, to strippers stripping, to policemen making arrests. Farocki uses the material to savagely dissect the West German mode of life. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Plot

An oddity: a mock-documentary, satirizing West German life, from the perspective of a leftwing East German filmmaker.
