An upstart pop star-turned-politician builds a platform on the grievances of America’s overlooked youth majority in a film that raises galvanic questions about ageism, civil rights, and drug culture.
Performance artist, filmmaker, and all-around mischief-maker Christoph Schlingensief rose to international prominence with his “German Trilogy,” which satirized his home country’s insistence that it successfully turned the page on its Nazi past after World War II. Terror 2000 engages with xenophobia towards Eastern Bloc refugees around German reunification. Schlingensief embraces the style of hardcore schlock to tell this story, using ugly tropes to put revanchist bloodlust to the test. Grand Guignol in the extreme, the film is not for the faint of heart, but provides a fascinating counter to the somber New German Cinema of Schlondorff and Kluge.
