Schuß Gegenschuß, though not widely known, really digs into how film and weaponry shape our perceptions, following Paul Virilio's ideas. The interviews with cameramen from WWII German propaganda add a stark, haunting insight into the era. You can almost feel the weight of history in their stories. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing you to absorb the gravity of their experiences. There’s also a unique blend of practical effects with miniatures that represent the future of media - it feels almost prophetic. It’s the kind of film that lingers, making you ponder the interplay between what we see and what we know, and the murky waters of representation in war.
