So, there's this documentary, Triumph des guten Willens from 2016, and it dives into the work of Eike Geisel, a publicist who had some pretty sharp critiques about how Germany remembers its past. The tone is reflective, almost somber at times, as it tackles heavy themes like national guilt and the idea of reparation. It's not your typical documentary; it feels more like a critical essay on film, weaving in Geisel's texts from the 90s which are quite thought-provoking. The pacing might feel slow for some, but it allows you to really absorb the dense material. The visuals are simple but effective, focusing more on the ideas than on flashy aesthetics. Definitely something that sparks conversation.
