could be about Germany

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2001)

Memory, biology, identity, metaphysics, morality: could it be that we're all getting a little German in our tastes? This movie could serve as a parable of that nation's experience in the 20th century, one instructive to our own. The film serves as a warning for substituting philosophy and psychology for politics. The world doesn't map to our desires.
