My Fathers, My Mother and Me is an intriguing documentary that dives deep into the life within Friedrichshof, the commune founded by Otto Muehl. You get this raw look at what it means to grow up in a place where traditional family structures are thrown out the window. The pacing can feel a bit reflective, letting you soak in the bizarre yet fascinating atmosphere of communal living. Paul-Julien Robert, the filmmaker and a child of this environment, doesn’t shy away from personal stories, which gives it a unique authenticity. The themes of free sexuality and the dissolution of the nuclear family are pretty provocative, and the way it's shot has this almost intimate quality, making you feel like you're part of his memories. Definitely a thought-provoking watch.
