Our Corpses Are Still Alive

About This Movie

Our Corpses Are Still Alive is a fascinating exploration of ideologies, set against the backdrop of post-war Germany. The film brings together five women, each embodying a different aspect of the societal fabric from the 1930s. The atmosphere in the cramped apartment is thick with tension, as their conversations shift from light-hearted banter to profound ideological clashes. What’s intriguing is how the staged documentary format allows these raw performances to shine, capturing a blend of humor and discomfort. Rosa von Praunheim's approach to documentary storytelling, with its almost theatrical feel, makes it distinctive. It’s not just a historical commentary; it’s a layered examination of identity, feminism, and the shadows of the past.
